What do you stick labels to your wine bottles with? I have been using a flour and water mix, with the idea that this will wash off for the next round easily. Unfortunately the labels fall off all to easily to

Self adhesive sticky labels, of the type you might find on a roll in an office. They soak off easily enough.

I prefer to print the labels, as my writing is awful.
