$1 is a great value when you look at time to design, waste from proofs, consumables (paper, ink, labels), shipping, and of course quality. IMO.

Ditto.
I'm using Avery Design & Print. They discontinued the desktop version -- I'm using the last version that was published. I tried their online version a couple of years ago -- it used fonts my printer didn't support to I wasted half a dozen sheets of labels as the font substitution was FUBAR. I haven't tried it since then.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Definitely quality labels. They give your bottles that 'Pro' feel.I went to David Noone’s Noontime Custom Labels site (www.noontimelabels.com) after reading this thread, and it was amazingly easy to create a label for my first kit of Stag’s Leap Merlot! I ordered a set and just got a notice that I’m “in production”. I can’t wait to receive and will post a picture of the label when I receive

I saw this email yesterday and it made me think immediately of all the amazing labels here. There’s a little time left in The WineMaker Home Wine Label Contest. I don’t have anything to enter but there are some great ones here that should be sent in!

I decided to go without labels for my first batch and use the craft paper cellar tabs. I designed a rubber stamp to add a little more character to the tags. Maybe I will take my design to labels moving forward but have not decided yet
Pretty simple but may be one of my favorites.

Sorry messed up my previous post.
Love the name and imagery of the bluesberry. A lot of people get "witty" wrong, great job.

Named and designed after one of my pups, couple of the 15 different varieties of fruit wine i currently have.

Started making wine last year in June and safe to say I am addicted! Just bottled our sixth batch, and started a 5 gallon batch of skeeter pee! We name each one after something going on in our lives, so I am happy to introduce "Vaccine Selfie!"
Bonus label for our future batch, named in honor of our puppy who will be coming home right around the time we bottle!

Just wanted to pass along that I received my first order of wine labels from SheetLabels.com and am very pleased with the price and outcome. Several of the main label makers in my review offer only rounded corners and seem to be geared more to volume orders.

Received my second batch from Sheetlabels.com. This set looked a little bleached out compared to the first set. They reprinted the batch for free although their policy says this variation can happen. They offer color matching as a safeguard, but that may be an add-on service. Either way, I plan to go that route to ensure high quality for an otherwise good experience so far.
One of my habits has been to print half a dozen joke labels. The reaction of folks when reading the fine print can be entertaining. This one is a first draft for next fall:
BTW: the background picture is the mansion prop from the Monster Movie Matinee, which broadcast in Syracuse NY from the 60's into the 80's (AFAIK). As a child it creeped me out. As an adult, I find it sad that folks don't allow themselves to be entertained by truly cheesy special effects.
I'm made some overtly weird labels, but I find they are not as much fun. Subtle is more entertaining -- for me, anyway.

In the late 90's, I had been out of winemaking for a few years, then jumped back in. Among other things I tried a Cabernet Sauvignon concentrate and a WineArt White Bordeaux kit. Both actually turned out ok, but feeling whimsical, my labels for each batch were not serious.
The labels were created using Microsoft Word, as I didn't have a decent graphics program. Kind of klugy ... but it worked!

Agreed. I grew up watching Son of Svengoolie on WFLD in Chicago. Loved (and still do) those classic cheese-o-rama horror flicks. To my delight, several years ago I found that Rich Koz is again playing Svengoolie on MeTV Saturday nights. My family hates it...
I like the labels.

I've used sheetlabes for couple of years now - I create the label online from their site, download the pdf file and take blank label sheets to Staples to have them printed
