Default bottling

I am confused, with wine you use wine bottles and cork . (if not sparkling). with cider you use capped beer bottles . capped bottles can be used for all brews because they are the best ..... I was at a freinds house he was drinking a micro beer looked homemade , labeled hand written , he bought it at HEB big local grocery store .... it was in a corked wine bottle ? I have 2 gallon dry cider to bottle if it lasts and under the airlock 5 gallons of grape peach how should these be bottled.... Also if everything is kept refrigerated you dont have to worry about pressure building up? if you pasturize you can store for ever at room temps?

It's up to you.

Caps work well with beer because beer is generally sparkling and hold the pressure better.
Personally i would use wine bottles and corks if it's flat.
