Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove a label from a hot sauce bottle? The only problem is I do not want to ruin the label. I want to scan the label to use as wedding favors.

Hold the label's edge over a steaming kettle to loosen the paste that holds it on and slowly remove the label, This also works well for removing stamps from envelopes if you collect them

Have you looked online to see if the company has a graphic of the label on their website that you could copy?

Back when I used to refund, I would cover the label with scotch tape, then soak the label off. The label sticks to the tape and you just lift it off. These days I would probably try the clear packaging tape to do this.

empty the contents inside, and add hot water, letting it sit. Work at the label slowly, and when the water starts to cool, add more hot.

I have good luck removing labels with heat from my blow dryer. This may not work if it is water soluble glue, in which case I think maybe water spritzed on very sparingly.
