I dont label my bottles as of yet.(Not enough)

I suppose you could get some white labels from a stationary shop.

Or if you have the money , you could buy a labeling kit of the

internet and make your own designs.

IF you check out absinthekit.com they offer for a small fee a labelling service i presume they are templates to modify then print them out at home on your printer ......... on the fun side i use plain white self adhesive labels n give the names like "aniseed, not unlike pernod" its amusing when u pass them round to see if they get a laugh...cos there are copyrights n we wouldnt want to breach them lol

Hope this helps B.o.r

I design and print my own using Photoshop. I find cheap archive matt paper makes the best labels as with care they can be soaked and peeled off for reuse. I attach them with a \"Prit Stick\"

I asked because I was wanting to see what others are doing.

I have been making mine with photoshop and publisher.

I cut them then stick them with a glue stick.

They are easy to remove once the bottle is empty.

Here are a couple:

Yes, I\'ll agree with BofR there Andy, very tidy.
I normally just use a cheap self-adhesive one from the local stationers, but I make up some piss take ones if it\'s gonna be wrapped as a giveaway......
My absinthe kit was Gert\'s 280ml one for 14 bottles, it comes with 14 quite tidy looking self-adhesive labels with a sort of Vincent van Gogh picture on it.

Dunno about whether it\'s the best or not. I\'ve made it up, both with and without sugar. Apparently, the "55" thing is that it contains 55mg of thujone per 750mls of spirit as made up. I make it up at about 80% or so ABV to keep it in the spirit of the original absinthe.
To me, I\'d say it\'s worth the money, and I always keep a bottle made up :-P
