A couple things that might help...
1) Pappers lowered his recommended temp to 180 degrees in some more recent posts in this thread
2) The bottom of your pot could be considerably hotter than the water temp, especially if it has a thick bottom. Try to put something between the bottles and the bottom of the pot. Maybe a washcloth or some sort of wire rack on the bottom of the pot. Probably should remove the washcloth before re-heating the water.
