Depends on what size bottles you are using!!

I tend to use go for a square 80mm label for 330ml bottles and 80x120mm for 500ml bottles as I like it to reach around the bottle a reasonable amount and can't be arsed with rear labels.

Nice one - thanks guys.
I went with 9cm tall and 10cm wide for a 500ml bottle.

It's a dead simple label in black & white that I can just edit in Photoshop for different beers and print quickly at home.

Looks good - simple but striking...
