Should labels and shrink wrap be applied before bottle aging or afterwards?


Bottle BEFORE the point at which you forget what wine is in which
bottles! :-)

I did that once -- bottled 3 batches of red wine the same evening, but
didn't bother to label them because I knew I'd remember which cases
where which. A month or so later I discovered, to my chagrin, that my
memory was not quite as good as I had thought it was.

I had to taste a bottle from each case to determine which was which,
so it wasn't a total loss ...
