Some people brew wine for a hobby. Some just love looking at wine labels before they indulge. But whether you're the former or the latter, you've probably looked at a wine label and said to yourself, "I know I can do that...but how?" Here are some suggestions for making your own wine labels.
Measure
First, measure the label. Most wine bottles have the same measurements, but a jug label may be a different size. And if you're making a sample label, you may need to resize it later for the real thing. There are also templates available online for a standard bottle. Just make sure the template measurements correspond to the label you're planning to make, since some of them are a little off.
Get Some Ideas
Take a look at wine labels to figure out the type of aesthetic you want for yours. Do you want a nature background? A picture of your winery? Do you want something eccentric and unusual, like a capybara? Also, note how the label is attached to the bottle. You can use something simple, like white glue. The more labels you examine, the more ideas you'll have.
Create an Image
If you have a computer, you can use Adobe Photoshop or Paint to create your design. If you don't have a computer, you can draw an image by hand or use a collage method to create your label.
To Sum It All Up...
Creating your own wine label isn't a difficult process. All it takes is some time and research, and a little bit of creativity. When people admire your beautiful labels and ask where you found them, you can proudly tell them, "I designed it myself." Who knows? Maybe your wine-brewing friends will want you to help them with their next batch.
