Post your labels here

ya I never know what to put because I bulk age. I've been putting aged and then the date on my labels and in notes I put the bottling date.Should I keep the month though? Obviously something done in Feb.2015 is going to taste better than one done in Oct.2015.So it would look like this

I just finished bottling Chardonnay, time to start a new batch!

Great looking label.As you start making more wine you might want to consider a date on the bottle. It could either be the vintage or bottling date.

I usually do put date and ABV. Not sure why I forgot this time. Thanks.

OK, let's give this a try.

My wife's first dog inspired our brand.

Great labels but my OCD is coming out.

The first label Wisenheimar is one word, the second label it is two.

How does it taste?

How does it taste?

Good already but certainly not great. I added quite a bit of oak and tannins, but it still tastes fruit forward. We'll see how it goes over the long term. It cleared much more easily than I expected!

Question, do most of you print your labels at home or do you use an online printing service? I am bottling a Christmas wine for gift giving and wanted nice labels for this one. Looking for options from the labeling gurus!

I think there is a lot of people who print their own after awhile as it gets expensive if you make a lot of wine. I started out having mine printed but then switched over to making my own as production went up over the years. There are some good online places out there but at ~$0.60 - $0.75 a label it adds up fast if you have 200 bottles to label. Here are a couple of online places that users have liked. Both sites have a nice selection of Holiday labels.

Thanks guys, I've been printing my own and may still go that route. I've made for different designs so far. I just can't decide what style, I want to go with...serious, funny, witty...too many choices!

I'm lucky because Manthing is a graphic artist working for a local print shop.
So our labels are printed on a vinyl product similar to bumper sticker material.
You could always check your local print places and see if you can find someone willing to do something similar.

I used the same template for my 2014 Chilean Cab/Merlot a few months ago. Nice!

Gotta say in my opinion, it is the nicest, label template I have found to date.
