    Ikea bottles

    I noticed ikea sell (I think) 1 litre Grolsch style bottles and was wondering if anyone has used them before for carb'd brews? I'm not sure whether they would be designed well enough to take the pressure or are more of an ornament than a useable item? If they would be sturdy enough, for £2...
