A variety of methods and materials are tested to try to remove labels from wine bottles. The best method is then demonstrated. #Winemaking #bottlerecycle
It's time to bottle my first wine. What I did was soak bottles just in hot water and labels peeled off quite nicely. After that I used fuel used in camping spirit stoves to remove adhesive and I think it worked quite well.
I put my bottles in a 350° oven for 5-7 minutes- the labels peel right off no problem. Any adhesive leftovers is removed with mineral spirits. The mineral spirits is a bit oily so I do a quick wipe with acetone. Then a good hot water and cleaner wash followed by the sanitizer of your choice to make them ready for use.

useful!
To get the glue off I use equal parts baking soda and vegetable oil, let sit for 30 mins and wash off with water and dawn. Easy
I put bottles in a pan on a stove 180 Degrees or so add some Oxyclean wait for a about 15 minutes and the labels float off.

Interesting! I'll try this next time.
Beware, high oven temperature can weaken the glass.
wd 40 works great on removing adhesive
Thanks! will try it next time.
Acetone removes the adhesive easily!
Thanks! I'll try some next time.
