Naast warmte is er ook een etiketafweekmethode met koude:
One is to wet the label and then freeze the bottle. Supposedly the water inside the label should expand when it freezes and that will loosen the outer layer containing the printing on the front. When I have tried this, I have gotten mixed results, that is, a partially removed and damaged label (www.ratebeer.com/Story.asp?StoryID=444).
Directions: Put your bottle in a freezer for 25 minutes and then put in a steamy, humid room for 30 minutes to sweat off the labels.
Results: While the bottles look promisingly sweaty, the labels held firm—no amount of scraping would do right by them. Frustrated, we stuck them in a tub with baking soda. Voilà.

Deze methode heb ik nog nooit geprobeerd en ik kan me ook niet voorstellen welke etiketten hiervoor geschikt zijn...
