Label remover

Franmara offers the "Label Saver" product for removing labels from wine bottles, which are often highly coveted among collectors. This is a transparent film that is placed flat on the label with the adhesive-coated side and then carefully peeled off. If used correctly, the label can be removed without damage. The disadvantage of this method is that the adhesive can cause the labels to darken in colour over time. A second method, which requires a great deal of skill, is to heat the bottles in a fan oven at 120 °Celsius for around ten minutes and then remove the label with a sharp knife.

A third method involves filling the bottles with hot water up to the edge of the label. The filled bottles are then placed in a tall saucepan filled with hot water and heated until the water simmers gently. When the temperature inside and outside is comparably high, remove the bottle from the saucepan. The label must now be left to dry completely for a short time. It can then be removed from the bottle relatively easily without any damage. See also under artificial labelling and placomusophilia.
