How To Take Labels Off Of Wine Bottles

Are you tired of throwing away wine bottles without giving them a second life? Want to impress your artsy friends or add a touch of creativity to your home décor? Reusing wine bottles is the perfect way to do just that, but first, you'll need to know how to remove those pesky labels. Lucky for you, we’ve got you covered. In this article, we'll give you a step-by-step guide on how to efficiently take labels off wine bottles, so you can transform them into amazing DIY projects or keep them as memorabilia from your favorite Black Wine Club events.

What You'll Need

Before proceeding, gather these essential items for maximum label removal success:

• Warm water
• Oxy clean or dish soap
• A large container or sink that can fit your wine bottles
• A razor blade or scraper tool
• A cloth or sponge
• White vinegar (optional)

Step 1: Soak The Bottles

Begin by filling your container or sink with warm water, enough to submerge the entire wine bottle. Add a small amount of Oxy clean or dish soap into the water - this will help to break down the adhesive on the labels. Place the wine bottles into the water and let them soak for about 30 minutes. For more stubborn labels, you may need to soak the bottles overnight.

Pro tip:

If you're short on time and only need to remove a small portion of the label, you can also use a wet cloth to soak that specific area.

Step 2: Peel Off The Labels

Once the wine bottles have been adequately soaked, you can begin to peel off the labels. Use your fingers or a scraper tool to carefully start lifting the label at one edge, taking care not to scratch the bottle. If the label comes off easily, simply continue peeling until the whole label is removed. If you encounter any resistance, re-soak the bottle and try again after a few more minutes.

Step 3: Scrub Away Residue

With the labels removed, you may notice some adhesive residue left on the bottles. To eliminate this, use a cloth or sponge soaked in warm soapy water to gently scrub the surface. For tougher residue, a razor blade or scraper tool can come in handy – just be cautious not to scratch the glass.

Pro tip:

If you're still having trouble removing the residue, try using white vinegar. Mix equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle, and spritz the solution onto the affected area. Let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub with a cloth or sponge.

Step 4: Rinse And Dry

Once you've successfully removed the labels and adhesive residue, give your bottles a thorough rinse under warm water to remove any remaining soap or vinegar. Finally, use a soft cloth to dry the bottles and admire your handiwork.
