Beginner and bottles

There might be some argument that the green wine bottle colour is slightly better at protecting red wines than brown glass, or that wine corks breathe a tad, helping the wine to age, but there is no good reason that capped beer bottles can't be used for wine. I've used long-neck 12-oz. with "tasting corks" for gifts, and no one has sent them back yet. And, you can use a #3 rubber stopper, or the equivalent sized tapered cork, instead of a beer cap, and thus satisfy everyone.

I often bottle in 12 oz bottles and it works great. Perfect size for one person or sharing a taste.
