  • Fill a container, large enough to fit your wine bottle, with warm water.
  • Add a few drops of dish soap or some baking soda to the warm water to help break down the adhesive on the label.
  • Submerge the wine bottle in the water, ensuring the label is completely covered, and let it soak for 30-60 minutes.
  • After soaking, gently peel the label off the bottle. If it doesn't come off easily, use a plastic scraper or your fingernail to remove the remaining residue.
  • Method 2: Using a Hairdryer

    This method is perfect for those looking to remove labels quickly and without fuss.

  • Plug in your hairdryer and set it on the highest heat setting.
  • Hold the hairdryer within a couple of inches from the label and direct the heat on the label for about a minute.
  • Use a plastic scraper or your fingernail to lift a corner of the heated label, then gently peel it away from the bottle.
  • Method 3: The Oven Technique

    This method is excellent for removing stubborn labels and multiple bottles simultaneously.

  • Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
  • Place your empty wine bottles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure the labels face upwards.
  • Put the bottles in the oven and let them heat for 10-15 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on the bottles to avoid overheating and potential damage.
  • Wearing oven mitts, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and start peeling the labels immediately. Use a plastic scraper or your fingernail if necessary.
