Glen Carlou is a South African vineyard; the Syrah grape is more commonly known in the USA as Shiraz. Removing the label from a bottle of wine is not difficult and is much like removing a label from any other kind of glass bottle, but this particular label took more time than I expected. All you have to do is run the bottle and label under warm water until the adhesive degrades enough for the label to be peeled off. If you are too impatient, you can end up leaving the back of the label still attached to the bottle, leaving the removed label much more fragile. This particular label had a lot of adhesive. Next, you wait for the label to dry. If you are too impatient, you end up with a crinkled label that doesn’t scan very well (like the one pictured here).

This wine was OK.
