Is it possible to keep a wine label intact, or will it be damaged in the cutting process? Thanks!

You can't cut through the label, but if the label is up far enough on the bottle, you can leave it on. I left my labels on and sealed them with 3 coats of all-weather hard mod podge to create outdoor wind chimes. Of course, it'll be a test to see how long they last outside.

I would finish the bottle within the next day or two. For longer preservation the electric ones are best. I've been pretty happy with mine though I do notice a difference in the taste by day 2 for sure. I drink red wines if that is any help to you.

I have not intentionally peeled a label off but the label on my daughter's school cup finally came off after several months of washing several times weekly. It didn't damage it or leave any sticky residue.

How long did you age your wine in it? Was yours the same with a char on the inside? I am afraid because some say this is just a "whiskey barrel" not a wine barrel! Any feedback would be great!

I would say that the label seems like it is on there pretty good. I didn't try removing it because I didn't want to have a half torn off mess.

While I have not had any labels damaged, it is possible for the solution to drip. It is my opinion that the exposure is minimal if you spin the record and immediately take it out, hold it flat and dry it

I rinse it under water after each use and have no problems at all. I would not let it sit an extended period of time with wine remnants in it. That would require soaking and cleaning.

I've been cutting the bottoms off of wine bottles. The thickest one was probably only 1/4 of an inch, (which was not a problem) but not sure about 1/2 inch....I think the hardest part with that would be getting a straight break when separating.

I would see why not? The grape must would have to be cut in half. I would think you could do the same with the yeast and other additives. I like dryer wines so since I don't back sweeten I haven't ever used the stabilizer.

I don't think they are damaged. I would strain it off, begin the second ferment and start a new batch with the grains. It takes a bit for the grains to adapt and get up and going, and trial and error to find your preferences, but they are pretty fool proof. I wouldn't worry about them, but I do recommend joining a group like https://www.facebook.com/groups/358190800919913/ for lots of good ideas and advice.

In general you don't want wine to sit - red past 2 days, white past 4. Top top works ok. It's not a vacuum seal or anything, but its easier than reinserting a cork. I've only used it for wine bottles...fitted for that size bottle neck/opening.

I have not tried that! I would suspect that the object with a label could be washed by hand without detaching. But, a dishwasher, my guess would be that it would depend on the item to which the label is affixed. I would think a plastic item with a smooth finish would not release the label. Smooth glassware or China... possible. These are my "guesses". Wish I could be of more assistance with your question.

I used a knife once, but was gentle in cutting and didn't have a problem. I would think if you can find some kind of plastic tool to cut it might be safer.

The labels do come off, they're clear stickers, I ran mine under some hot soapy water for about a minute and was able to peel them off no problem. They come in a nice sturdy box that is easy to wrap as a gift and we actually use it to transport the glasses when we bring whiskey somewhere.

Hello! I have reused several containers of frozen stock and the labels peeled off perfectly even after being in the freezer. I've read some reviews that say if you get the labels wet they leave some residue. I don't get them wet I simply put them on a dry lid and pop them in the freezer and when I take out the stock from the freezer I peel the label right off with no problem. I hope this answers your question!

My experience is the same as the other respondents. Proper filling will keep the label dry any liquid that May have contacted the label while I'm drying it has not done any damage.
