I need a decent label maker that can print standard size labels to attach to beer bottles. I just got into home brewing and have close to 100 bottles that I would like to attach labels to. I need to make some for my wheat ale and some for my winter holiday ale.
Does anyone know of a good program to use? Doesn't have to be fancy just something so I can tell what brew is in the bottles. I tried searching but most of the hits I got were for cd/dvd label makers.

Avery has different types of labels. The also provide templates. Fore up your copy of Word and follow directions.

Stencils and spray paint are pretty cool too. Nicer looking than labels IMO.

As a home brewer, I can tell you putting nice labels on your beer gets expensive in a hurry. Most often, I put the first letter of the name with a marker on the cap. Another problem with labels is recycling bottles. Labels add another degree of difficulty when washing bottles.
