Summary: 5 Stars
These are the most inexpensive label removers I've come across. Very fast shipping, too! These work as well or better than other brands I've tried and are very easy to use. I had a high success rate as I've done this several times before and have a knack for it I guess! :)Customer Review: wine labels

Summary: 4 Stars
We're buying our second set of these -- obviously we feel like they do the job despite their lower price and thinner plastic. If you've used this technology before, then just go ahead and buy...you'll be satisfied and can buy about 5 bottles of Two-buck Chuck with the money that you save.
If you haven't used this technology before, please know that these do not remove all labels. Mrs. Jack has, and I say this with pride that comes from being married a woman who can clean, remove, and sanitize pretty much anything, figured out a pretty good way to do this. YMMV, but here is what she does:
0) Drink the wine. At the same time, make a post-it note and attach it to the bottle, noting the date, what the special event was, etc. She also fills out the page in the book a lot of times -- we've done it as part of the tasting with others, which is fun too.
1) Apply the label remover.
2) Press the adhesive INTO the label by rubbing hard (she no weight-lifter, so don't get carried away) with two different items: 1) a wine cork for the whole thing, and 2) a hard but not sharp edge, such as the side of a plastic ballpoint pen. Make sure that the edges of the label are well bonded to the adhesive.
3) Wait. Not minutes, not hours, and not days, but a couple of weeks.
4) Try to remove it, peeling from the edge. If it does not come off, then repeat steps 2 and 3.
5) If it still does not come off, then it was not meant to be. Some people suggest trying to soak it off first, but anything that soaks off easily comes off with the label remover in our experience.
Some labels are designed to resist water and peeling. That's life.
Open another bottle and repeat starting at step 0. :-)
Customer Review: Doesn't make label removal EASY, but certainly EASIER

I sort of envisioned plastering these on a wine bottle and ripping the labels cleanly off 10 seconds later. Not so. Removing a label requires some time and concentration even with this tool. We've discovered the best way to do it is to carefully and neatly place a label remover over the label and press it down with your fingers, then fill the bottle with very hot water (that way if you dribble, the label remover protects the label). Let it sit for 5 or 10 minutes, and then press the label remover down very hard with the back of a spoon or another utensil, especially along the edge you're going to start from. THEN you can carefully begin to peel it away. Go slowly, and know that you might need to use a fingernail or something to help get a corner started. Once you get going, they come off pretty easily. Trim the remover down, and then the label will stick into a book beautifully. These removers aren't a magic fix, but are the only way to get a label off cleanly and have a shiny, perfectly flat, waterproof finish for your wine journal. The 24-pack will last a long time unless you document every single bottle you drink (as if I want a record of all the $8 wine we drink--ha!). The directions that come with it are very helpful. And the removers are big enough to fit virtually any label.
