Giving Wine as a Gift

There are countless ways and reasons to give wine to someone. You can bestow a vintage bottle as a gift to a newlywed couple or offer bottles for guests to share at your wedding. You can use it to toast a long-married couple on their anniversary or share it with your other half on your special day, alone together. Wine can say, “Welcome,” “Thank you,” “Good job” or even “Goodbye.” No matter what message you hope to impart by presenting it, adding a custom label is certain to clarify your good intentions.

You can easily create your own wine labels in Word. Simply use a label size that will fit the bottle. Go to the Tools menu in Word 2003, point to Letters and Mailings and select Envelopes and Labels. In Word 2007 or 2010, go to the Mailings tab and click on Labels in the Create group. Choose the label size you want, open it as a new document and create a design using graphics, text, shapes and colors.

On the other hand, you can download one of the templates offered below and customize it to suit your needs. Click on any image to enlarge it and go to the References and Resources section for links to the download pages of each template listed.

When you are ready to print a design, be sure to use adhesive label paper so that you can fasten it to the bottle with ease.
