Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oenophilia Label Lift
Customer Review: For Serious Label Collectors
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
