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.
