Post your labels here

Here's my latest. It's for a blend of 2013 Merlot and 2012 Cab.

Jinks,
Where did you get those odd shaped bottles or what are they from?

Around 2 bucks each on this site:

Thats just the corked ones they have wiretop too.

Eventually I'm gonna nerd out and use the globe ones to make some Blue "Manna" and Red "Health" from several of the games I used to play.

So here is an idea I came up with while making a Gruit ale.

I liked it so much that I carried it over to the wine chemical side. Feel free to use these labels if you want, I have already edited to fade in a gear on the ones stuck to the bottles.
And here is my ode to Alice in Wonderland
Had to use saran wrap around the cork because it was a bit small.
I plan on dipping the necks of all the small bottles into bottling wax and wrapping some jute twine around it.

Very cool. I really like your chemical-bottle setup.

Syncnite,

I adore that label.

That said...that is the only book I have ever hurled across the room.

I read every book, as soon as it came it. It took almost 20 years for me to get the whole story and when I did....well, I was furious when I got to the end.

We finally got some labels printed this last week and we are slowly working our way to actually getting them on the bottles.

First up is the mead.

 

[Jericurl]

Jinks,

Where did you get the spice bottles?

We grow and dry our own herbs (not herb!) and I would love to have some of those.

 

[Jericurl]

FINALLY!

We labeled the Prickly Pear wine.

Thanks, Jericurl. And I can appreciate your reaction to the last book. I agree, but the journey to get there was fantastic. I also didn't like when King wrote himself into one of the books. That distracted me from being fully absorbed in the story of another time and place.

EBAY bought then dumped the ancient spices, cleaned, de-labeled and re-labeled.
The wine chemical bottles were empty (new old stock) so I just had to wash and label and fill.

Used this search terminology

My first bottles of wine and first label.

 

[JINKS]

Had a buddy who noticed some stuff (yeast? Infection?) in his bottles so he is going to try to dump and re-filter and re-bottle. Cornucopia Pear kit. I decided to poke a little fun at him and made a special label for the occasion.

 

[JINKS]

Like the band Styx I've got to much time on my hands.

The 2013's are in the history books.

Berry Delight bottled today.

 

[Just-a-Guy]

I am new at this, and only had one wine basically "drinkable" by Christmas - a wine made from organic grape juice from the grocery store. I made some "custom" labels for some of the women in my life (like my Mom, Sister, Wife, etc.), and gave them as Christmas presents. The wine is "ok", and everyone was really nice in saying they enjoyed it. But the labels were a huge hit. I think I'll repeat this every Christmas, hopefully with some better wines by next year.

"Smelly Dog Wines": I like it!

 

[GreginND]

very creative. I love the wine with a nose!
