First let me say that I am notoriously cheap and I'm always looking to reuse or repurpose something if I can instead of buying something.
I read on here about using the 375 ml splits to store some of your wine when bottling, to be used for sampling along the way during aging. This way you don't have to open a full bottle to taste the wine, only to find out that it should have aged some more.
I noticed that a beer bottle is about 355 ml and the opening looks to be about the same size as a wine bottle, so I was wondering if it could be used to bottle up some testers and use a standard cork to seal it?
The beer bottles I have saved up are not the twist off style, you have to use a bottle opener on them. I don't want to use new bottle caps to seal them, because then I'd have to go get the capping equipment.
So, has anyone ever used beer bottles, or should I just suck it up and go buy some real splits?
