What are custom wine labels?
Custom wine labels are pressure-sensitive adhesive labels printed with your winery name, estate crest, varietal, appellation, vintage year and TTB back-panel disclosures, cut to fit standard 750 ml glass bottles, 375 ml splits and 1.5 L magnums. Wineries, boutique vineyards, meaderies, cideries and private-label gift buyers use them to dress red, white, rose and sparkling releases without paying die charges for arched crests, medallions or neck collars. Because a straight-walled Bordeaux bottle and a slope-shouldered Burgundy bottle have very different cylindrical zones, custom wine labels are sized to the exact straight vertical band of your glass mold so corners never wrinkle. At CubitPack, custom wine labels start at 500 pieces and ship in 10 to 14 business days (rush 4 to 5), with guaranteed Pantone color matching, hot foil stamping, spot UV and a 3D mockup before you pay.

Every wine label is cut to your exact width by height in inches with no die charges. A 750 ml Bordeaux bottle has a tall straight wall that takes a vertical rectangle, while a 750 ml Burgundy bottle has long sloped shoulders that require a shorter, wider label placed lower on the body. Whether you are comparing wine bottle labels, custom winery labels, foil stamped wine labels, 750 ml wine bottle labels or wine labels with logo, we size the template to your exact container.
| Label size (W × H) | Shape | Common containers | Best format |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.5 × 4 in or 3.75 × 4.75 in | Vertical rectangle or arch | 750 ml Bordeaux bottles (Cabernet, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc) | Roll labels |
| 4 × 3.25 in or 3.75 × 3 in | Horizontal rectangle or oval | 750 ml Burgundy bottles (Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah) | Roll labels |
| 3 × 4.25 in | Tall slender rectangle | 750 ml Alsace / Hock flute bottles (Riesling, Gewurztraminer) | Roll or sheet |
| 4 × 3.5 in | Shield, oval or rectangle | 750 ml Champagne and sparkling wine bottles | Roll labels |
| 2.75 × 3.5 in or 3 × 3.25 in | Vertical rectangle | 750 ml back wine label (TTB warning, tasting notes, UPC) | Roll labels |
| 2.5 × 3 in (or 4.5 × 5.5 in) | Rectangle or crest | 375 ml half-bottles/splits (2.5 × 3 in) or 1.5 L Magnums (4.5 × 5.5 in) | Roll or sheet |

- Match your glass mold silhouetteMeasure only the straight cylindrical band below the shoulder taper. Bordeaux bottles take taller rectangles (4 to 4.75 in high); Burgundy bottles need shorter heights (3 to 3.25 in).
- Pair front display and TTB back labelsKeep your front label focused on vineyard name, varietal, appellation and ABV, and place the mandatory government warning, sulfite declaration and barcode on a narrower back label.
- Check alternating roll vs two-roll setupTell us if your bottling line uses two labeling heads (separate front and back rolls) or a single-head roller that feeds Front-Back alternating on one roll.
- Note ice-bucket and cellar storageWhite, rose and sparkling wines sit in ice buckets and cold cellars. Mention cold immersion in your quote notes so we quote the right stock and finish.
- Add hot foil stamping or spot UVHighlight your estate crest, vintage year or signature in gold or silver foil stamping against a glare-free matte background.
- Send your varietals or AI artworkUpload your print PDFs, send an AI-generated vineyard illustration, or use our free design help to align all varietals on one shared dieline.

From commercial 500-case estate bottlings to 500-bottle wine club micro-lots, tasting-room flights, vineyard cellar reserves and wedding favors, every glass wine bottle relies on its coordinated front and back labels to tell the vintage story, showcase the vineyard crest and satisfy federal TTB rules.

What are the most common custom wine label mistakes?
Sloped Burgundy shoulders, cold cellar condensation and applicator unwind settings cause most bottling-day issues. Avoid these five mistakes. When specifying branded wine labels, wholesale wine labels, bulk custom wine labels, personalized wine labels and custom size wine labels, avoid these common production mistakes
- Putting a tall 4.5 inch Bordeaux rectangle onto a sloped-shoulder Burgundy bottle, where the top corners cross the taper and bubble.
- Applying labels to cold, sweating bottles straight from the cellar instead of labeling dry room-temperature glass 24 hours before chilling.
- Ordering roll labels for a mobile bottling line or tabletop roller without confirming core size, unwind direction and alternating front-back spacing.
- Setting the mandatory TTB GOVERNMENT WARNING header in non-bold type or crowding it against the cut edge without a ⅛ inch safe margin.
- Centering the front label directly over the raised vertical glass mold seam instead of placing it on the smooth face between the two side seams.

A US business you can checkWine labels questions
What is the standard label size for a 750 ml wine bottle?
For a 750 ml straight-sided Bordeaux bottle, the standard front label is 3.5 × 4 inches (or 3.75 × 4.75 inches), paired with a 2.75 × 3.5 inch back label. For a sloped-shoulder 750 ml Burgundy bottle, a wider 4 × 3.25 inch front label prevents wrinkling.
Why do labels wrinkle on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay (Burgundy) bottles?
Burgundy and Rhone bottles have long sloped shoulders and a shorter straight cylinder near the base. If you stick a tall 4.5 inch Bordeaux rectangle onto a Burgundy bottle, the top corners cross the taper and crease. Keep Burgundy labels under 3.25 inches tall.
How many cases of wine does the 500-label minimum cover?
Five hundred labels covers 500 bottles, which equals 41 twelve-bottle cases plus 8 extra bottles for tasting samples and setup. If you need both front and back labels for 500 bottles, select 2 designs in the quote form.
Can I order multiple varietals or vintages in one order?
Yes. In Step 2 of the quote form, select 2 designs or 3+ designs and list your varietals (for example, Cabernet, Merlot, Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc) in the notes. Keeping the same width, height and shape across varietals lets us quote and run the entire release together.
Can you print front and back wine labels alternating on the same roll?
Yes. If your winery uses a single-head semi-automatic bottle roller or inline applicator that applies both the front and back label from one web, tell us in the quote notes so we wind your front and back labels alternating on the same roll.
How do I keep white and rose wine labels from peeling in an ice bucket?
We offer clear and foil stocks along with protective matte and gloss finishes, and our full wet-strength and wine stock list is being finalized. Always apply labels to clean, dry bottles at room temperature at least 24 hours before chilling.
Can I add gold or silver foil stamping and custom crest shapes?
Yes. You can add hot gold or silver foil stamping and raised spot UV to highlight your vineyard crest, vintage year or border, and we cut custom arches, ovals, shields or split two-piece labels with zero die or plate charges.
What information goes on the front vs back wine bottle label?
Most US wineries put the brand name, class or varietal (such as Pinot Noir), appellation of origin and alcohol content (ABV) on the front label, and place the mandatory TTB GOVERNMENT WARNING statement, sulfite declaration, bottler name and address, net contents (750 mL) and UPC barcode on the back label.
Can you match my wine label color to custom wine gift boxes?
Yes. Because CubitPack produces both custom wine labels and custom wine boxes under one roof with guaranteed Pantone color matching, we print your bottle label, neck collar and single- or two-bottle gift carton to the exact same Pantone code.
How fast can I get custom wine labels before a bottling date?
Standard production takes 10 to 14 business days after you approve your digital proof and 3D bottle mockup and complete payment. If a mobile bottling truck or release event is coming up fast, 4 to 5 business day rush production is available (quoted per order), with free US shipping.
