I love Russian River's 510ml bottles, and I'd use more of them, but they are a pain in the neck to get the labels off. Lots of soaking, scrubbing, and wondering if it's even worth it.

What are you soaking in?

PBW. The first soak got the paper off. A second soak got *most* of the glue off (with some elbow grease). I think I'm going to try some Goo-Gone to get the rest of it off.
Rubbing alcohol may work wonders on the glue(depending on type). Saturate a paper towel in rubbing alcohol and leave it on the glue for about a minute, then rub and see if it comes off.

A stainless steel scrub pad and Pam or other cooking spray oil works really well for me to get that glue substance off glass bottles. The oil seems to act like a solvent to loosen the residue and keeps it from sticking again once it is off. Plain cooking oil works also but not quite as well as the spray stuff. I like .5L bottles as well. Better than the 22 oz bottles.
