dangerdave said:I've been asked that many times. I make wine for fun. I'm affraid if I went commercial, the fun would evaporate. Besides, I won't trade the interaction with these wonderful people ---like yourself---or the delight I read in their posts, or the pride in their accomplishments, or the smiles on the faces of my friends and family, for all the money in the world!

I know some people print on regular computer labels you can get them in the right size with 6 per sheet. Avery has different sizes. You can buy labels online designed for bottles... I'm currently looking at onlinelabels.com for clear sticky labels. I'm also considering printing on textured computer paper and spraying with a glossy finish as some other ppl do. This is my first time making bottle labels. I saw that some people buy sharpie paint markers and just write on their bottles and it washes off... So many options!nook6 said:Hi I'm a noob in wine making and I have been looking at these labels in here and i was wondering how you buy your labels and where from.

Can you get Avery labels from your local office supply store? They have labels that fit about the size of a small wine bottle labelI'm sure there are other brands and they are relatively cheap, come in 8 1/2 x 11" sheets with 6 labels per sheet!
I love your label too! It looks Paleolithic kind of!! Actually what font is that? That was more the font I was looking for for mine! Kind of the dungeons and dragons feel!
egg whites, whole milk, or a combination of both all work well. You can throw a dash of flour in there as well for extra adhesion. And the great thing is they come right off with water.Egg whites as glue?? Totally cool! Does it work really well? Thanks for the link! What about the torn affect of the label? How did you do that?
