Why are the labels on my wine bottles coming off in my wine cooler?

Wow, bummer. My guess is a humidity problem (too high?). Anybody else?

I agree with indybob -- high humidity is probably the cause. It should be around 60% to 70%.

yes high humitity but this makes removing the labels to save easy

Are these 'Petrus labels' by any chance?

wrinkling or totally coming off ? are the bottles "sweating" ?

Thankfully these bottles are not extremely valuable, its not all the bottles, infact it is mostly a particular one. No sweating on the bottles at all. The temp is 55 and humidity is around 50. Thanks for all your thoughts.

This is 'Petrus Labels' for all the newbies: Clicky. In my book for top five thread all-time.

Thanks Indybob for that link. Absolutely hilarious! I hadn't seen that one.
