How To Make Labels For Your Homemade Wine

If you are making your own homemade wines, it only
makes perfect sense to make your own homemade labels.
Making your own labels is the only way for you to know
the homemade wines contents, age and characteristics.
Having clear and concise homemade labels will make it
easier when you are looking for a specific wine for
it's flavor or characteristic without trying to
remember the character of each batch. Making your own
homemade wine labels is easy and is something you can
do in a couple hours.

You will need to know both types of contents, the fruit
you started with and the yeast. You need to write on
the homemade label the history of the wine, the vintage
year, and the type it is, the alcohol % and maybe a
little about the flavor of your homemade wine. By
doing a little research in the recipe book, you will
know the approximate alcohol percentage. For instance
as I write this I am sipping on a Nov. 2005, black
grape, alcohol at about 13%, semi-dry finish, I call it
my Cabernet, Yummy!

To make the homemade labels for your homemade wine you
will need to have a computer, printer, plain paper or
label stock, software that has graphics and scissors or
paper shear. If you don't have Microsoft Office, there
is a free program at openoffice.org that will do the
task of creating your homemade wine labels just fine.
It is up to you how fancy you want your labels to be.
They can be plain and just have the immediate
information on them or you can get artistic and add
some design onto your wine bottles.

I recommend going to your favorite wine store for
ideas. Check out the labels on the other small
vineyards bottles. You will find many labels that look
like they made them on a computer! You may even find a
few winery labels of less quality than you will be
creating.

Start with a graphic for the homemade wine label that
will "brand" you. When in the store I am sure you found
many types of animals like zebras, elephants,
kangaroos, as well as logos like tipped over wine
glasses and such. Try to think of a simple graphic that
will convey your attitude or character. While reading
labels, pay attention to what they have written on
them, your homemade wine labels will want to say
similar things.

Your homemade wine bottles will look stunning on the
wine rack when you have these beautiful homemade labels
on them. When your friends come over, offer up a unique
looking bottle of your finest work. They probably will
not know it is homemade wine until you tell them. I am
not kidding, some of the labels you will see at the
store are a joke. You can easily come up with a
homemade wine label that will impress the wisest of
critiques.

These homemade wine labels will look great on any
bottle of homemade wine that you give to someone as a
present or bring to a dinner party. I always enjoy
that, bring a two dollar cost bottle of homemade wine
to an elegant dinner party and wait for the compliments
from the enthusiasts!. Not only will you be giving
them a great gift with the homemade wine that you have
created, you will compliment the gesture with your own
branded label. This will be an idea that they will
love and that you will be proud to give them.

You do not have to make the homemade labels look
perfect. All you have to do is have some imagination
and the right equipment. You can make all of your
homemade wine bottles look like they were bought at a
fine wine store. With the combination of one or two
graphics and some well placed text, your homemade wine
bottle labels will give your homemade wine the perfect
finish.
