Simple way is to keg it.
If you want to bottle you HAVE to use beer or champagne bottles because you will pop your corks.
Read up on bottle conditioning and pasteurizing.

Wine bottles are not designed to handle pressure.
Compare the heft of a champagne bottle vs a wine bottle and you will notice a major difference.
Beer bottles don't need to be as thick because they are much smaller diameter.

Nope, it'll be fine. The purpose of dark bottles is to prevent light damage, which isn't much of a factor unless you're aging your wine for a long time or you have the unfortunate habit of leaving your wine bottles in the direct sunlight.
