I love so many of the labels I see on this category, but I don't have that much free time and I am not that creative and not good at searching. I decided to go with wine labels direct and decided to go with the following label. For 30 labels at approx $25 which included shipping was a decent price and I think the quality is very good. The label itself is smooth and picturesqe, plasticy/filmy type of "paper"; it is not paper or at least does not feel like paper or parchment texture; label will leave a marked crease if bent or removed too hastily from sheet. I also purchased some heat shrink "foil" caps at approx 10 cents ea. Had some fails with hot water and hair dryer as they were not hot enough - they shrank, just not perfect. I then put a pot on the stove and had rapidly boiling water and that worked like a charm! And very quickly too. Before I applied labels I wiped bottles with paper towel doused with rubbing alcohol. During label application I realized that there really is, imo, a front and a back of a bottle; the back being the marked area with measurement (750ml) and the front bottom has raised bumps - I could be totally wrong here - but that is how I am seeing it - note to file.
