I soak the bottles in a utility sink with hot water and oxyclean. Labels usually come off fairly easily, if not I use a razor knife. Any stubborn residual adhesive that doesn't come off with soap and water gets some denatured alcohol and a little rub with a rag.

I also soak (not to be confused with the infamous "cork soakers" on the forum) and scrape the labels off. Most labels come off easy and the ones that are tough I deposit the bottle in the recyling bin. It's just not worth the effort and having to use solvents to remove them.
