How to add labels to your mead or wine bottles

[dcholmes1969]

Thats all good. But now I have back labels. So now getting the spacing between the 2 labels is what I need to know.

You can just soak any paper in milk, and it will slide on the glass until it drys.. .. Thats how they did it for absinthe bottles.. in Switzerland..

@Casper48022 This is a cool tip. Thanks

@Casper48022 Not sure if this will work on paper labels but window tinting or decal that has sticky stuff on one side you can use a vigeager based widow cleaner like windex and it lets you move the tint around to get all the air bubbles out and when it dries it is stuck. Just spray the window and apply the tint or decal moving it into place as needed. I'd think it wold work here.

How did you make your labels?

[epicfantasy]

@ostmash I bought the labels. They come with the background already done. You put them in your printer and you can print on them. Then you peel them off the sheet and stick them to the wine bottles.

Wow, that looks very professional.. do you sell the mead that you make?

[epicfantasy]

Thanks! No, I don't sell any -yet!

[KretinBassist]

you definately should its looks great and professional people who didn't know you could see it and ask were you bought it from

does the government require a license or any crap like that to sell your own bottles?

[epicfantasy]

Yes, To sell any alcoholic beverage there is an extensive licensing process, and very strict rules about labeling.

[dtmbcorp]

I was just going over the application yesterday... Dozens and dozens of pages that it seems like I'd need a lawyer to decode to that I would understand! Screw jumping through all those hoops. I would just barter with it or give it as gifts I guess to avoid the licensing process.

Is it illegal to brew just for personal consumption?

[epicfantasy]

Its legal to make mead as long as you are of legal age. And you are allowed a certain amount of gallons you can brew. I think it's 100 but that may vary by state.

[whirly22]

Thank you and im not worried about it varying because id never brew close to that much.

Thats not the way we play spin the bottle

How do you get the labels? Do you have to order them or is there a specific convienience store that sells them?

[epicfantasy]

They are kind of a specialty item. I usually get them from leeners or EC Kraus. But Amazon has a selection of them too. Search for "Wine Labels".

[jango512]

this is random and it doesn't have anything to do with meed but how can i buy online from amazon if i don't have a credit card

[newestbranch]

use a debt card?

[epicfantasy]

Thanks, Just an easy way to make sure the labels are applied evenly and straight :)
