Wine Bottle Labels




Is it possible to tell the quality of wine simply by the label? Wine bottle labels offer more information to the trained eye than one would think. There are obvious wines that should be avoided just by the label. Without naming specific wines, there are a few out there with cartoon images of drunken sailors gracing their label. I can tell you from experience that these wines are about as cheap as they taste. Some are worthy of being sucked down via the brown paper bag they come in. Most discerning individuals can look at these wine bottle labels and offer the obvious opinion.

However, considering how difficult it can be to choose a good wine, the label is often the only indication of the wine’s quality. Most of us know from experience how frustrating it can be to run out to pick up a bottle of wine for the company heading over without being able to discern the right wine for the occasion.

preventing damage to bottle labels



Glass bottles, particularly those used for soft drinks and beer, are frequently reused. In order to reuse these, the bottle must be cleaned and sterilized once returned to the bottler. This is accomplished using a bottle washing apparatus which typically has three to five sections. The bottles are introduced to the machine and supported throughout the washing process by individual holders or pockets. Bottles are initially directed to a pre-rinse section which is designed to remove large particles and labels. In this section, water and residual chemicals from the cleaning process are directed at the bottles as they are introduced into the machine.

Next the bottles are conveyed into one or more cleaning or soaking sections where they are soaked in a highly caustic solution at an elevated temperature, generally about 70° C. or higher. Pressurized spraying of the wash solution onto and into the bottles may also occur in these section(s). After 7 to 15 minutes, the bottles are taken to a warm rinse, and then to a final potable water rinse. The final rinse water is then re-used for the subsequent initial pre-rinse.

The cleaning or soaking solution is a highly caustic solution. Generally, this contains 2-4% sodium hydroxide. This acts to clean the bottles, dissolve metals such as metal foils contained in the main label and the band label on the neck of the container. Also, in combination with temperature and contact time, this highly caustic solution renders the bottles commercially sterile

Many years ago when the postal service was not yet created, our means of communications with the other side of the world was limited. A clever way was discovered to send a special message to the other side of the world by means of “A message in a bottle”. We have recreated this unique piece that will send forth your special message to your guest. Use it as a beach wedding invitation or setting for the guest at your special event. These glass bottles are filled with fine sand and real mini seashells.

Add a message made of natural oil paper with cedar leaves to these glass bottles as an invitation or a thank you note to your guest (optional). If you are mailing these bottles as an invitation, get our white corrugated mailing box (optional) and our elegant RSVP card. Each beach invitation bottle is firmly corked and is adorned with a raffia ribbon.
