Seeing Milpauls coke bottle reminded me of a pair of mills I made for a competition. Beer bottles!

I would love to make them to sell but the problem I have is:
The labels are from the brewery, and are self adhesive and the adhesive is meant for glass. After a few days air bubbles start appearing under the label. The wood had been given a few coatings of acrylic lacquer before the labels were attached.
I took them to the Brewery to have the labels put on. The two shown were included with the full beer bottles and went through the labelling machine. I had to make sure I kept my eye on them when they came out. The Brewery foreman was a little worried that they would end up in a local pub or on a supermarket shelf!
That was a nice thing to say!
So if any one can help with ideas of how I can fix self adhesive labels to wood instead of glass and end up with NO air bubbles I would greatly appreciate it.
