I hit the jackpot with 4 cases of bottles. Only bad part is that 2 of them are screw caps. Is there anyway to I can use these?
Novatwist. See post #3 in this thread...There is also a new closure that is made for the screw cap style. I forget, though, what they are called.
There was a time many/most of us were desperate for good used wine bottles. 2 years later you find yourself with 100 cases of empty's and every week people are dropping off more (or wanting to).
I could fill another 8x10 shed with just empty wine bottles! :<
I would dump the screw caps. Not worth the risk of breaking off when corking or uncorking.

I wish you were closer! My shed is full, winery is full, garage is full. I have a wood fenced side yard that has a giant tarp covering another 50 cases probably. I could make a phone call and have another 200 bottles in no time. I have a hard time saying no I don't need any more because I know they will just end up at the dump!
I just keep thinking in another 2-3 years its going to become harder and harder to find cork type bottles except buying them brand new by the case from a LHBS. You won't be able to find anything but screw tops in the grocery stores.
I am going to hold on to them....... God I hope I am not turning into one of those hoarders on TV..........
So my father-in-law gave me two bottles of wine given to open the Lunar New Year celebration. They had given him as a gift several years ago and had been stored in an upright position all the time. I went to open and completely dried corks - which came out in pieces. I had to push the cork all the way into small pieces and pour the wine through a filter before pouring it into glasses.
