I received my order in an envelope and they were wrinkled! You can NOT ship something like this in an envelope where they are going to get smashed and folded and stuck between packages! Half of them are ruined!Please ship them in a BOX next time!!!

These didn't work for me when used as directed. However - I discovered if you warm the bottle in the oven at 200 degrees for 15-20 mins, the label comes right off.I then used the Oenophilia label lifts to secure my labels to my notebook - it laminates them to the page, keeps them dry and protected from fingerprints or what have you.(Just to say, I have only tried the "oven trick" with simple labels like Redbreast whiskeys. If your label is very big, has lots of edging or design, you may need more time, or a slightly warmer oven.)

I used this to take a label off a special bottle of wine (save them in an album). It did the job really well - had to try twice, but that may have been the fault of stronger glue on the label itself. Was delighted to find a package of only 10 labels, reasonably priced - didn't want to order a pack of 50! Would definitely order these again.

After the first few tries i finally figured out a method that works for me. I lay the Label Lift over the label i want to save sideways so that the thin white strip is on the left side of the label. I start from the center going up and down the label to the right then start going back to the left to stick the Label Lift to the label. This usually makes there be no air bubbles, you can check by running your finger over the label feeling for the air bubbles. I leave the bottle for an hour or more. When i come back to it i rub it again with the back of a spoon and make sure to get the edges really good especially close to the white strip. To remove the Label Lift and the label easily, i lay the bottle across my legs with the white strip farthest away from me. Grab the white strip and slowly roll the bottle away from you and it will slowly lift the label off. If you notice its not sticking at the very beginning of peeling it, run the spoon hard over the edge again.I just started collecting labels and this is the first option to remove the labels in one peace that i have tried. I'm ordering a big pack now that i used the first ten i bought.

Doesn't work very well. Labels rip.

This was reported to work okay but would be somewhat expensive to use extensively, good for saving a special label.

Only half the label came off despite leaving on for a day.Will try again; maybe needs even greater pressing on label to stick.The free way of course is to put the bottle in the oven, but being careful not to burn yourself !

I bought these as a cheaper, bulk alternative to the "Label-Off" product I was given as a gift several years ago and was disappointed to find they DO NOT stick the same on any bottle. Although these feel a "mil" (mil = millimeter / 0.0254) or two thicker than "Label Off" brand labels, the "Label Lift" label removers do not have the stickiness to split the wine label artwork from the bottle in my experience (sorry, Oenophilia). BTW, don't use a wooden spoon - it'll leave streak marks in the label IFF you get it to come off (instead, I use a stainless spoon or stainless ice cream scooper - gets HOT when rubbing). Here's an instructional vid I found: [...]These work by laminating themselves to the face of the wine label, which is securely glued to the bottle. when you peel back the laminated label, the artwork work tears off the part that stays stuck to the bottle. As you can imagine, if the laminate (Label Lift) isn't strong enough, it will tear your label - especially when needing to grab onto the edge you are peeling from. I've wasted over a dozen in the 50-pack I bought (wasting a label remover and a wine label = $$$).In short, just get the "Label Off" removers - I've never had any problems with them. Trade-off: sacrifice a mil or so of thickness for a perfectly-removed label every time. They're a really cool way of saving the artwork on many wines and will be sure to preserve memories of a great time. These are especially neat for wines only sold at tasting rooms.

For years I have tried to remove the labels from wine bottles that I have particularly enjoyed, with mixed degrees of success. Soaking in hot water works for some, but the glue has gotten stronger (and less organic), so that techniques has become less and less successful and often leaves me with a permanently sticky label when it does work. Enter the Oenophilia Label Lift. I brought out the collection of empty wine bottles that has littered my house for years and went to work, much to the pleasure of my wife who hates clutter of any type. Bordeaux labels in particular were receptive to the adhesive qualities of the product and it nicely laminated them to boot. I used up the entire package and was so impressed that I ordered five more packages.On the second round, I began to discover the products limitations. It still isn't perfect, as I have discovered. Some labels that are heavily glued or embossed won't come off and thin labels, well they are hit or miss. If you have an empty bottle with one that you just can't do without - keep the bottle because once you begin trying to take off the label, its an all or nothing proposition. A rundown of the pros and cons:The Good:-- Usually works rather quickly, but you have to first apply the laminate carefully. Apply it starting at one end and press down smoothly to prevent any gaps in the application. Then go over it again with a hard object, the instructions recommend a spoon, but I use the plastic handles of a pair of scissors to avoid marring the plastic.-- When you have to combine two sheets or parts of sheets, they seem to meld together nicely.-- You can cut a sheet to fit smaller labels and have some laminate left over to use with other bottles.The Bad:-- As I noted above, it doesn't work with all labels. The product succeeds by adhering deeply enough to pull up a significant amount of the label. Great for nice, thick paper wine labels, not so much for thin ones, although you can sometimes remove enough of them to make it worthwhile, but they are rarely displayable and you have just wasted an expensive sheet and destroyed a label that you might like to keep. Ditto with heavily embossed labels (you pull up part of the embossing only).-- The product is expensive, per sheet is around 78 cents, so save them for really nice bottles.-- If you are scissor challenged as I am, then it will be difficult to get an exact cut without hitting the label. My workaround is to cut close to the label with scissors and use a cutting board to trim the excess laminate away closer to the label. Doesn't work for odd shaped labels though.Overall, its a good product and very useful if used within its limitations. A great empty wine bottle declutterer for those who have kept empties around trying to figure out how to remove the label.
