I am considering doing a batch of wine and I was wondering if it mattered if you put white wine into red wine bottles (aka white wine in green bottles)?
I have another question regarding wine bottles. Is stove top pasteurizing wine in wine bottles with a cork setup okay?

NO. The corks will probably pop out before the bottle explodes, but not necessarily.
You don't want to pasteurize wine anyway, because fermentation must be done before bottled in regular wine bottles as they don't hold pressure. If you want to carbonate wine, you must use champagne bottles or beer bottles.
Yeah I know it's not the norm, but I have family members that won't drink it if it's not because they believe it's riddled with yeast and bacteria.

I tried to google this and read another post that said something similar but I don't understand why. Glass should be okay when heated, just like when you put them in the dishwasher. The only variable here would be the cork. I wasn't thinking about submerging the corks themselves, just the body of the wine bottle, but I'm not sure what would happen.
