    Well, no. the carbonation will make the corks pop off. Wine bottles aren't designed to hold carbonation, either.

    Well, you could use champagne bottles and champagne caps and cages.
    If you have a champagne corker.

    Listen to Yooper. Wine bottles are not designed to hold pressure so if you did figure out a way to keep the corks in them they would likely explode. Champagne bottles or the belgian beer bottles would be fine. Save your wine bottles for making some wine...
