My LHBS has them listed on their web site @ $15.00 per 100 count bag - straight Wine Works, #07, #08 or #09.
 
What is a good size for most commercial wine bottles? I want to buy one size that would work on most.. If I buy #8's would that maybe be too small for some bottles and if I buy #9's would it be too large?

I would assume go bigger and have a tighter seal rather than potential looseness in some bottles.

Thanks in advance ; )

Depends on your corker tool. Use #9's only if you have the floor corker.
 
+1 to novalou. If you have or can borrow a floor corker, #9's are best. If you are using a hand corker, tapered #8's will prevent your biceps from imploding.

What is LHBS? I am looking for 100.

Thanks Rocky and sorry for the TIA comment. I click on your link but I am in the market for 100 right now. I look for the same product but in a quantity of 100 but could not find it.
