Yeah, I once had to remove the label off a bottle of Carlo Rossi wine. To get the $2.00 rebate check I was after, I had to send in a form with my address, the sales receipt, and the UPC symbol/label off the bottle.
These are the directions they gave to removing the label: basically, dunk the whole empty bottle into a big sink filled with really hot water for about 10-15 minutes; the label should then slide off easily from the glue that is still left over on the bottle itself.
Allow the label to air dry and you'll then have a wine bottle label that has little to no damage to it, assuming you didn't rip it off the bottle like an animal.
As for the rest of the people who answered: no, clear tape will damage the label, assuming it even works in taking the label off the bottle (it doesn't); soapy water can make the label turn to jelly, therefore making it nearly impossible to lift it off the bottle in one piece; and the only thing a damp cloth accomplishes is discoloring and/or tearing the label into streaks in a failed attempt to remove it from the bottle.

Oh Good Grief.....It's easy. Sorry. Just read all those complicated answers. A label from a good bottle of wine should let go with just a damp cloth. Lay the cloth on the bottle for a bit and check it ever so often. Once it's softened up --- very gently lift a corner and work with it.
I used to save the labels of the wines from nice restaurants I had visited. Fun collecting.

Cover them with completely clear type tape and than lift the label off as you pull the tape off. Other than that to pull the label off and have it done by a professional archivist is going to be expensive but they could do it perfectly if it's important that the label be in perfect condition. To find one in your area you'd check with a local art gallery and they could tell you who does this type of work.
