Parties, weddings, family visits or any event where I can get away with it!

I put them in a five gallon bucket then fill it with soapy water. Leave it for a few days, then peel the labels off and put back in the water for a couple more days. Then use a pot scrubber to remove any residual glue. Not counting the soaking time, I can do a bucket of bottles in a few...
