Wine Enthusiast Label Savers, Set of 10

Great if used correctly
I have used these label removers for a couple of years. At first I had a problem with them but discovered how to make them work. Place label remover over wine label and smooth out, then place HOT water in the wine bottle and let sit for one minute. I have an instant hot water dispenser which makes this easy. Empty the bottle and use a razor blade to get the edge of the label started. The rest of the label will pull off very easily. The HOT water loosens the glue adhering the label to the bottle.

Great idea, difficult execution
I have a few bottles of wine that I absolutely loved and always wanted to remember the brand, vintage, style, and label art. This was a great product to help with all that and also reduce the bulk of having a bunch of empty wine bottles all over my small apartment. This product does work, it just takes some skill and patience to do what you need it to do. Read the directions and be patient when attempting to use this. I recommend trying a few test runs on labels you don't care about first.

The Best There Are
These are the best there are, accept no substitutions!

I went through a couple of other brands trying to save a few pennies but it was just not worth it. These work the best in removing the label, giving it a good layer of protection, and being able to smooth and preserve in your wine journal.

They do take some practice though. Be prepared to not get the sticker in the right place, to crease it, not rub the label saver down hard enough, to tear it. Buy a bottle or two of inexpensive wine that you can practice on before you use the label saver on that bottle that you've been saving for that perfect occasion.

So this is how I do it:
There are two backings on the saver. One to cover the label, one small strip for you to hold on to as you position the saver. Peel off the larger backing and center it over your label. Remember that you have that strip so make sure you center accordingly. I'm right handed so I keep the strip on my right side.
Now is...
