    I would like to share around if anyone else is into it. Can you mail a bottle of wine? I’m going to bottle some wine in 12-16oz bottles soon. And have wine bottle size strawberry that needs a year ready to go. A few bottles of year old watermelon and peach.

    Bottles and labels.

    Man scraping bottles clean is a pain. Any tips? I'm using recycled bottles from our local wine shop girl. She has a plenty after a tasting. Labels- do y'all print your own labels on sticker paper or order them? Online label makers price is way high.
