bottling apfelwein in wine bottles?

[St. Jon's Wort]

Has anyone tried bottling Ed Worts apfelwein in corked wine bottles? If so, how did it turn out?

I think you could do this if you are making a still product vs. carbonated. In my opinion this product needs the extra zing of carbonation, though - so I avoid the wine bottles and just keg it or put it into 2 liter plastic soda bottles and force carb.

I bottle all of my Apfelwein in wine bottles. It goes down real smooth when chilled.

are you guys all german or is there something actually called "Apfelwine" hence the Proper Noun-age?

Nope - Apfelwein: Apple wine. Edwort started it because he wanted to duplicate german apple wine. Its the name that stuck.

got to wikipedia and search apfelwein...
