First Wine kit almost complete!

[Maverick00]

Well I just finished my first wine kit (grand cru California Chardonnay) we printed labels using Avery software I saw being used here. Turned out great! We just need to find shrink caps for the top to complete the look. Thanks for all the tips and help everyone, here are a couple pictures.

Nice graphics on that label.

What's the next one going to be????

Looking good! So what did you adhere the labels with?

Thanks guys . The next batch is a grand cru gewürztraminer ready in 2 weeks. I also started a zinfandel kit which apparently has a nice strawberry flavor.

The labels had an adhesive already on the back. I printed them using an inkjet even though a laser was specified for the paper. I also used the online Avery software to design and print it. Product number 22809, worked very well.

Do you mean a Strawberry White Zinfandel kit? EG Orchard Breezin' or Island Mist or Niagara Mist.

Well it's a GCI white zinfandel kit, at the local brew store I was told it has more of a strawberry flavor rather than a mixed fruit or berry flavor.

Looks very impressive m8, i have my first 3 wine kits just started 2nd fermentation stage.

Where did you purchase the labels from , do you have a link, also a link for the Avery software ?

Great labels.

Gorgeous label work.

For those who are not aware, Avery has an online software wizard using Microsoft Office operating system.
Here is the link to the label used and once you open the link you can easily find the link to the software http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Search/?dimsearch=true&N=0&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=0&Nr=AND%28SITESCHANNELS%3AAvery.com%29&Ntt=22809

I know the labels can also typically be sourced at Office Max, etc.

Thanks Sara that's the site we used to make the labels, great software. I should also mention the labels (22809) we used were also very easy to remove with only hot water. Personally however I wished the labels were alittle larger maybe a 3x4 but perhaps Avery makes a label this size we will find for next time.

We purchased the labels from 'Staples'
