I've been kegging my beer for a couple years now and my father has suggested carbing a wine. Can I simply keg carb to the desired level, fill my bottles and cork? Will a standard wine bottle with cork hold the carbonation without pushing corks or exploding bottles? I have no idea how many vols that system would hold.
 
I keg carb my apfelwein if you wanna call that wine. In fact, I won't drink it any other way. I usually put it in a champagne bottle and use cages to make sure there's no bottle bombs or rocket corks and I've never had a problem. I've also done this with skeeter pee but never with a grape wine. I don't know how it would affect the flavor but I'd imagine the storage wouldn't be a problem.
