You can either scrape it off, sand it off, burn it off, or (possibly?) dissolve it off.

I've always either scraped or sanded.

a quick and dirty way is to take a razor blade and scratch it off.

For antique enamelled wire:
find a metal bottle cap and half fill it with methylated spirit. Light it. Use the flame to burn off the insulation then dip the red hot wire in the spirit.
See how clean and shiny it is.
Most new enamelled wire, just tin it with cored solder and a hot iron.
