How do I clean my dusty bottles?
Q: My wine bottles are dusty. Is there some technique that can be used to clean the dust without damaging the labels and bottles?
A: A feather duster or a soft cloth should do the trick. Don't dampen the cloth with water because the wet surface could cause the label to smear, though the damp cloth wouldn't hurt the bottle itself. Alternatively, there is a product called Dust-Off (a compressed-gas duster) which can be very effective. Try it on the label located on the back of the bottle before you apply it to the front label.
