Wondering if you all use wine bottles that had screw on lids for bottling your wine using corks? I have about a dozen that were given to me, but want to make sure the stress from the corks on the bottle necks won't crack the bottles. Thanks in advance!
 
OK thanks for the replies. Think I'll just throw the screw top bottles away and keep collecting those that came with corks.
 
Following along. To OP Thanks for the question and others thanks for the advice
 
I throw all screw top bottles that are donated to me in the trash. I don't trust them.

Yup!!! If refermentation begins, corks get pushed out, while screw tops explode. Explosions are a mess to clean and take out other bottles that might have been saved.
