I saw a gadget that holds 5 bottles (750ml) to keep them from rolling while
putting the labels on.
It is made of yellow plastic with a "wood grain" texture. The intra-bottle
cross beams are bevelled.

I have searched various equipment supplier websites to no avail,

Does anyone know where I can get one? What do others use for labelling?

Thanks In Advance
Bryan

Bryan,
I have never seen the plastic holder you refer to.
I use a 1 X 6 inch board that is about four feet long. The board holds six
bottles. Twelve, 1/2 X 3/4 inch cleats are nailed along the board to keep
the bottles in place.

This is an interesting thread...I just finished my first batch of wine
and after I bottled it I started drinking the 3/4 of a bottle that was
left..then I figured I should label the bottles...well...hehe..some of
them aren't the straightest labels you ever saw...to say the
least...is there any tried and true methods of putting them on?..I
just put a bottle on the table in front of me...peeled the label and
stuck it...

Only trick I have found, is most bottles have a fine 'line/seam' and I
line the edge of the label up with that then roll it on the rest of the
way.

Don't worry, 3/4 of the way through each bottle and they'll all look
straight again... :-)

One of these days I'm going to have to invest in a mechanical labeller.
But in the mean time I'm still using the thrown together labeller I
made on the day of my first bottling.
I took a 1 foot piece of 1 x 12 and nailed on a 6 inch 1 x 2 across
the bottom. Then I took 2 others and mounted them perpendicular to it
about 1 and 1/2 inch apart. These two boards form a U and are mounted
to just cradle the bottle.
After that I put a piece of 2 x 2 under the top of it to tilt it a
little and there it was/is. Several thousand bottles later and it's
still going strong. Just get one bottle labled like you want it and
then make marks on the boards on both sides of it and then just line
the next labels up on the lines.

Does anyone know of a good, reputable company that you can submit a label
design and they can print off a couple hundred labels for fairly an
exepensive price? Thanks in advanced.
