@Rice_Guy Many thanks again. I'm really grateful for all the help I got from you and this forum!

Hello @Rice_Guy, thanks for reply. There is no pressure rating. Here they cost about 7 cents each so I'm not expecting top quality. One more question: for one-liter bottles, they have both brown and green colors. Is one color better over the other for red wine? Green color, for some reason...

Hello everyone, I'm still searching for a bottle cap. The latest find is the cap with plastic lining you see in the images below. I am wondering if this would be tight enough if I first wrap the bottle with a layer of silicon tape. What's your opinion?

Yes. it is correct. The bottles are 1 liter glass. My last post was just asking about the caps. I'll find out if they metal caps have a plastic insert. Thanks again.

Hello Everyone, I did more research and found a factory that sells glass bottles online. The screw tops come in plastic and metal. See picture the factory sent. Which do you think I should go for? Plastic or metal? I don't know enough to predict which would be more likely to react poorly...

Damn. I just realized in my original post I wrote "I apologize in advance for your ignorance" Sorry. It was meant to say MY ignorance.

Thanks to you all. I really appreciate the friendly atmosphere here!

Many thanks. I'm going to try to find screw tops. Will report back. Many thanks. I'm going to try to find screw tops. Will report back.

@Rice_Guy wow. Many thanks. I had idea corks are supposed to let in a bit of oxygen too. So, if I understand you correctly, because my cork is short, it will probably let in too much oxygen, correct? Also doesn't the cork look a bit ratty? It doesn't seem solid. A lot of grooves.

Hello, I am a beginner who lives in a country where wine-making equipment is not readily available. I have not been able to find long cork screws or a device to push them into the bottle. After a lot of driving around, what I've found so far is 2-liter bottles with a short cork screw. Please...
