When wine bottle labels will not come off any other way, it may be
necessary to call the winery to find out how to do it. This happened
with a bottle of Ridge Zinfandel one time. It seems they were using
some non-standard type of glue that simply would not allow the label
to be soaked off normally with steam or hot water. They suggested 
putting the bottle in the freezer for a few hours then trying to remove
the label with a razor blade. Surprisingly enough, this worked.
