Love each and every label I've seen on this thread.

that's just sexy...Just received my barrel yesterday and they did a fantastic job with engraving my logo.
Yeah pretty cheap and they do the engraving for free. Arrived in two weeks after purchase... I believe $124 total with shipping. www.barrelsonline.com
Any fans of wheel of time? Check out my raspberry melomel, a tribute to Rand.

That has the look of an RPG I used to play in high school back in the 80's called Bushido... it was the RPG that nerds that were too nerdy to play D&D played.
I used to design a unique label for each wine, but that is too time consuming. Now I have a template type format for my honey and grape wine "brands".
My basic honey wine label (mead, cyser, pyment, etc.). Nectar of the Godz.
My basic grape wine "lucy" label. DZM Cellars.
Themes (Text color, PVC shrinks, bottle caps): Purple for honey wines, red and black for red wines, white and gold for white wines.
On size label fits all for 1.5 L, 750 ml and 12 oz. beer bottles.
Colored bottles caps with 3/4" printed labels save rummaging through beer case.

Know anybody with a big rack?
I like to have a big variety. When the California and Italian juices get here in the fall I usually make six different varieties. Early fall is fall cyser. Winter is a good time for mead. I'm close to getting a local source of Chilean juices for in the spring. Throw in a couple of wine kits and a batch or two of beer and you get stocked up quickly. I'm sure I have well over 300 bottles of wine/mead.
Here's a photo of my brew room. It's not a true wine cellar since it's not climate controlled and the temp ranges from the low 60's in winter to about 70[SUP]o[/SUP]F in the summer.

I have a second wall mounted rack to install, I just have not got around to it as of yet. The wine bottle neck labels help a lot in finding a specific wine in the rack.
The 3/4" bottle caps stickers really save a lot of time when searching for a specific bottle in a mixed "beer" case full of wine. If anybody is interested they are Avery 5408 or Office Depot 660-534.
My typical 6 gallon batch is 3 bottles @1.5 L (synthetic corks for upright storage), 18 @ 750 ml (1.75" No. 9 corks), and 12 @ 12 oz. (crown caps). The beer bottles are great for giving 2 six-packs of different wines for the "12 Wines of Christmas" as a gift. The labels and colored crown caps make the gift special.
Uh... am I addicted?

Nice! Do you have a distributor in Miami? I'm here!
Moridin? Tribute to rand?
That seems a mite unlikely.
Perhaps a tainted gift from the depths of Shayol Gul?
(forgive the spelling, it's been some time)
Ahahaha, I guess my love of the two characters is a bit confusing ...
I have several other meads waiting to be bottled in my wheel of time series, will post labels when they are done!
