In the past when I first tried making labels for my wine, I actually just used some white Elmer's glue. I'd put a bit on my finger, rub it all over the back of the label, and carefully stick it on and let it dry. The good part is that label removal was a breeze by just soaking it for a bit. But now I use the Avery 8164 stick on labels which work like a dream. They're also not hard to remove by soaking. There's also a no-run label in the same size which is made of some kind of vinyl. They're actually easier to remove than the paper ones, and the colors don't run on a sweaty bottle.
