I gave some Apfelwein to a friend who makes wine. She loved it, can you believe that?!!? :)
So I gave her the recipe to try. She wants the same carbing that I had, I used 4 oz corn sugar, but she asked if she can bottle using regular corks or does she need champagne corks. I have no idea! I just bottled like I would normally do a brew. Anybody have an idea or opinion?
 
If she going to carbonate and she wants wine bottles she needs sparkling wine bottles with either crown caps or champagne corks with a wire basket. Regular wine bottles aren't designed for the pressure, nor are the necks designed to take sparkling wine corks.
