- I remember some friends of mine, who collected Wine Bottle Labels, spreading
- some stuff over the labels. The stuff was designed to either dissolve the
- glue and leave the label intact or to soak into the paper and reinforce it so
- it wouldn't tear when being removed (maybe it was both). They've gone their
- separate ways and I've lost touch with them, but I have seen the stuff they
- used advertised in some of the wine journals. You might try looking in some
- of them. If I get a chance I'll rummage around in some of the boxes from my
- bachelor days and see if I can find some more info.
