3.5 × 4 in labels
3.5 wide by 4 tall is one of the most common front label sizes for 750 ml wine and cider bottles, giving a bold panel for the brand, the variety and the vintage while leaving glass visible on either side. It is a natural fit for a pint berry clamshell lid (5.5 × 4.25 in) and a 4 × 6 in postcard (6 × 4 in). For copy, count on about 27 lines of roughly 56 characters at 8 pt. A full-size UPC-A barcode also fits.

Design tip for this size
Work on a 1088 × 1238 px file with a 3.375 × 3.875 in inner guide; below 8 pt, text blurs at arm's length. Group the must-read items in the top 2.4 in so they show even when products are stacked.
On flat packs allow 3.75 × 4.25 in. On round containers the 3.5 in side wraps a 1.19 in diameter or larger.
Area-wise 3.5 × 4 in beats 4.25 × 3.25 in by 1%; 8 × 1.75 in offers another 0%.
