Bottling using wine bottle

[ThaDutchMasta]

is it ok to bottle beer using wine bottles and natural corks?

 

[Yooper]

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

got ya, well what about the abbey Trappist brewery/monasteries in Belgium... i had a wonderful abbey that was corked in a wine bottle

 

[Yooper]

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...
