No beer bottles will take a cork.
So you can put wine in a beer bottle but use a cap instead?
Lots of people put mead in them.
i don't like the grolsch or other wire-capped beer bottles for wine because i think the rubber gasket affects the wine after a time, unlike beer which is not meant to age in the bottle, wine in contact with that rubber gasket for years is going to take on some unpleasant aspects i think. plus it is not an ideal seal and with age will be difficult to sanitize as the rubber develops microscopic cracks over time.
given the overabundance of perfectly good wine bottles everywhere, i don't have much reason to use anything else.

BobF - purchasing a case of splits or double-splits is a good investment. that's what i did, maybe $20 for 24 bottles. i use a few with each batch to give me some early tasters for the 6mos-12mos period.

I value my ligaments too much to try to put corks in bottles that aren't made for them.
