Before the Verizon Usenet window closes on Sept. 30:
Aside from tradition & aesthetics, and with proper scrupulous sanitation,
might there be any good reasons NOT to use grolsch swing top beer bottles
for wine instead of buying splits ? I have plenty of 750's, but sometimes
I'd rather open a split than have half a bottle sit on the countertop for a
day or 3. I have plenty of grolsches inactive in the homebrew corner of the
basement and it seems to me IIRC that doing a case of splits became tedious
& a PITA for the return on corks, capsules & labor. All opinions &
suggestions welcome & appreeshed. regards, bob

Yup. Been doing it for years. No problem. Store upright.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who might be using Grolsch bottles!
They're convenient to use, a good size, tinted, pressure-safe, and intended to
be stored upright! Just don't forget to replace the gaskets when they start to
show wear.
