New Label

[Wade E]

This is a label just created for a batch of Welch"s Niagara that I used
my own white oak that I toasted in my oven for and it came out pretty
darn good.

Hey, it almost looks like your basement after a good rainstorm!

(Sorry Wade, I could not resist).


But seriously, the label looks awesome.

Good one Grape!

This is a label for a batch inspired by Waldo. He made a batch of wine
last year out of leftovers that wouldnt fit in his carboys and I
had the same problem with a whole bunch of fruit wine batches. I have
Black Currant, Strawberry-Orange-Banana, Raspberry, Cranberry, Cherry,
Blueberry, and probably others but I cant remember anymore.

[Wade E]

What kind of a question is that on a winemaking forum!

 

[Barney]

Wade,
What are you using to make your labels?

 

[kutya]

Wade, nice labels... Your creative juices are really flowing...jh

 

[Wade E]

Barney, I use Microsoft Picture It Premium and Adobe Photoshop CS.
Adobe could probably do it all but I have alot of learning to do with
that program and Picture It is very user freindly but is missing alot
of features that are needed in my opinion. Glossy printing paper and a
elmers glue stick to apply to bottle.

Did I borrow from someone or what?

This is a 4 by 5" label for the MM Amarone I put into bottle a couple of months ago.

Very classy Peter!

 

[Trigham]

WOW

Id say classy I love it , you people are soo talented its not funny, I love those white grapes!!

 

[peterCooper]

OK

Trick of the trade #1
Get a nice picture of grapes of the internet. Insert it into a word document.
Format the picture. (Right Click and Format picture from pop up menu)
Select Picture... Color Control...Watermark and then you get the watermark looking thingy that is the central background to my label.
