Can wine labels withstand ice buckets and refrigeration?

Yes, wine labels can hold up in ice buckets and refrigeration as long as you choose the right material. The trick is matching the stock and adhesive to cold, wet conditions.

• Waterproof or water-resistant stock: Select this when bottles will chill in ice or a cooler.
• Moisture-rated adhesive: Keeps the label from peeling as condensation forms.
• Sealed finishes: Laminate or synthetic films add extra protection against smearing.

For bottles headed into ice buckets or a fridge, pick a waterproof material at checkout so the label stays crisp and firmly attached.
