I was wondering if you could reuse wine bottles to bottle beer or if anyone has done this before?
Sparkling wine bottles from US winerys use standard bottle caps and are easy to use. The only problem is the thicker necks and collars which may not work with wing cappers.

Has anyone actually tried to bottle beer in a wine bottle? My guess is no, everybody is just handing down the same line - it won't work so don't try it......please prove me wrong or I will have to try it.
But, if you have kids, please put them in a big rubbermaid container with a cover.
Go ahead and try it. All of us telling you not to won't stop you. But, if you have kids, please put them in a big rubbermaid container with a cover. I can tell you that the cork will probably pop out way before the bottle explodes, though. Corks are designed to pop out under pressure.
I tried it, and it happened just what you said, the cork popped out after some time.
