You may have the bottles but in a recent news bulletin in the uk, it stated that screw tops were just as abdicate. You could use plastic bottles to the same affect if not as attractive. Stephen.

Thanks for all the responses. 29mm sounds like exactly what I need, the
26mm from my beer bottles are just a little too small. Strange though, most of my champagne bottles are domestic, usually I get Cooks, as it is the cheapest and I am just trying to build up a stock of empties. Oh well, thanks again. Bryan

Bryan, I went through the same process trying to get a decent collection of champagne bottles. (Mead, cider, cyser, sparkling wine and soda.) I did not like the punt (sp?) on the bottles from my LHBS and wanted the 'high style' of 'good' bottles. A bottle or 2 from special occasions would not get it for me. I went to a local caterer (weddings et. al.) and begged for bottles from their events. Wow, what a hit. I got cases of bottles, for free... Most were the 29mm tops and I has to discover a source for the caps.. Thus my recommendation to you.. I got my LHBS to carry the item and am a happy camper today. My floor capper has the capability for both types of caps now...
