Collector

If you are passionate about collecting wines and trying different wines, then it would be beneficial for you to keep a wine label journal. Wine tasting is really all about the journey, and this is a journey that is most certainly filled with a variety of different experiences. Just like most journeys, there are bound to be certain destinations that stand out more than the others.

One of the best ways for you to revisit all of your favorite wine destinations is to keep a wine journal, and one of the best ways to keep a wine journal is specifically to maintain a wine label journal. The difference here is that with a wine label journal you will be keeping the wine labels rather than simply writing about the wines that you experience. Keeping a wine label journal will help to ensure that you remain on the right path in your journey of tasting and trying out different wine experiences.

Just like with a regular diary, your wine journal is going to allow you to record all of your unique impressions while sharpening the observations that you make and greatly enhancing the memories that you keep. If you have never before considered keeping your very own wine label journal, then here are some excellent reasons for you to consider getting started today.

If you are a beginner to collecting wines, then a wine label journal will help you to organize all of your impressions of many different varietals. It will help to make sure that you keep track not only of your favorite wines but also those that are not your favorites. Keeping a wine label journal will add fun to any wine tasting parties that you throw or attend. It will also capture the memories that you have of not only excellent wines, but excellent friends as well. Finally, keeping a wine label journal will provide a truly handy reference when it comes to purchasing wine in the future.

If you are an expert in collecting wines, then a wine label journal is going to help to improve your techniques in wine tasting and to sharpen your personal ability to evaluate the wines that you taste. Your wine label journal can help to maintain a record not only of your favorite wines, but also your favorite food and wine pairings as well. Keeping a wine label journal will help you to record the subtle differences between wines that are purchased by the case so that you can determine the effect of aging on your favorite wines, and your wine label journal will serve as a true record book of your experience in this unique and fascinating hobby.

If you’re not already keeping a wine label journal, then why not begin today?

Drinking a glass of wine is one of those luxuries that can quickly grow into an obsession with wine bottles, wine varieties and even wine labels. The more that you get into wine collecting, the more you are going to want to document all of the wine experiences that you have. Some people keep a journal marking all of their wine experiences, while other people collect wine labels so that they have something interesting and visually appealing to mark all of their wine-drinking history.

So what is wine label art collecting all about? It is a simple method for documenting all of the unique vintages that you have tried. Once you have finished drinking the bottle, what you will typically do is remove the wine bottle label and slip it into your wine journal. There are a lot of journals designed for just this purpose including the Nomad Wine Journal, which provides spaces for you to put your wine label art, and spaces to write about the characteristics of the wine itself including its flavor and aroma.

The first step in collecting wine label art is to remove the label from the bottle of wine. The steps to doing this successfully with the wine label art in one piece begins by figuring out exactly how the label has been adhered to the wine bottle. European style wines typically use glue for this purpose. Other areas tend to prefer adhesives that are similar to what you find on the average sticker. There are different techniques involved in removing each of these for the best possible results.

For a label that has been glued on, fill the bottle using hot water. Place the bottle inside a container allowing the water to reach above the label, such as a water pitcher. Fill the water pitcher with hot water as well and allow it to soak for five minutes. When the label begins to move around freely, it is ready to be peeled away. Peel it slowly and carefully. You should be able to place it wet in your wine label art journal while it is still somewhat wet, allowing the glue to simply re-adhere to the page of the journal.

When you are dealing with any other adhesive label, the process is similar but much simpler. You would fill the wine bottle with hot water as before, but simply allow it to sit for a period of five minutes. The label should begin to peel away on its own. You should not need to place the wine bottle in a container of hot water. The adhesive should still be sticky once removed, and you should be able to adhere it directly into your wine label art journal.
