just wondering if any one has tried bottling with wine bottles. I am unsure if the cork lets air escape, thus loosing carbonation. I had a thought to wax the top, but I'm not sure if this will provide a good enough seal.

The will need to be corked up and caged like champagne bottles otherwise the pressure of the carbonation will force the cork out.
Wine bottles are not designed to hold pressure- if the cork doesn't pop out, the bottle may explode. It's best to use a bottle designed for holding pressure- like beer bottles, champagne bottles, soda bottles, etc. Plain glass wine bottles just aren't made to hold carbonation.
