Here's my very simple question. I've brewed beer for 8 years and have quite a large assortment of Grolsch swing top bottles. I'd like to use these and would buy more to accomodate 5 gals. Mostly I have 1 liter and even a large 1.5 liter. The rest are 16 oz bottles. I would like to use them all. The 16 oz bottles would be great at mealtime, as my wife and I would finish off the bottle. Are these okay to use?

Go for it, you will not get corking of your wine and you got the bottles (lucky devil).

Definitely. Be sure not to leave too much headspace in them though. ½ inch is plenty. A little less is better.

I used them one time and they worked well. I thought that the wine did not improve with bottle aging like it did under cork but that may have just been my impression. It certainly did not hurt the wine.
