Kind of, I made up a few labels for christmas presents. I think I only used 2 or 3 & decided I didnt like them, when applied. The handful of people that got them knew what it was coming from me.

I did get my "generic" wine bottle labels in a few weeks ago. Still in the package on my desk. Havent even put them on the keeper bottles yet.

My own was 95% so far... and this time I also made a couple of "special edition" / less sugar but lemon juice added.

Made up 10 bottles of 'cello (all for presents). Also 8 bottles of my apple pie are in process, too. All for gifts. Some of them will take a long trip to other cities like Moscow etc. And we present them all here for the New Year (on Dec.31, @ 11:55pm).

For ordinary cases, I use some generics (with some empty space in the middle of), too.

My bourbon and rhum labels.

Thanks for giving this a bump!

Worked on this for some Nuclear Aged Whitedog:

The Atomic Age looks like the legacy of the Soviet era... I realize that the trends in poster design 50-70 were global, but nonetheless ... it looks great and strongly refers to those times.

Did some bottles of corn,wheat and barley up to look pretty for my daughters 18th party. Thought they came out ok.

Hey Goog. Looks cool
Lightly oaked? Sugar color added?

Thanks mate, yes little light on the oak and only used medium toast Appalachian oak. Was UJ style mash with some sugar but no colour.

What's your "oaking time" in the case?

It’s just over a year old and very nice and smooth

Noted with thanks
So, looks like your stave was not big at all...
Was it inside during the whole year or pulled out a bit prior to the likker's "readiness"?

Left it in until I bottled it

I really need to get working on bottle labels for my stuff. I often have so many stuff in bottles I forget what's in there.

How about masking tape? The most permanent is smth. temporarily made

Haha I'm lazy. Right now I'm using small round stickers (labels) that I stick on the caps and crowns to mark what's in there. But I want labels to show off my stuff a bit nicer. I work hard to produce good stuff, so it only makes sense.

The good stuff requires some good markiting efforts, too. Good luck

Alcoholics I know consider this postmodern. I only see the bottles in the streaks of Star San and the labels that your obedient servant and the office printer "compiled" in 5 minutes.

Don't tell, don't sell. But please, return the bottle

.... and they do. I tell my friends that the only price for a new bottle is the old one.

A good idea. That obliges not only them but also you, though

I wish I had found this thread last year, my labels are pretty mundane compared to this lot.

True enough..... I never tell them when though.
