i just started a coopers lager kit yesterday ( i only used whats in the kit no dry hops or anything because when i was asking the lady at the store for advice she had no idea what she was talking about so i just stuck with the kit ) its only been fermenting for one day but the beer smells like cheap piss ( im extremely picky so dont take my word for it ) when my brew is done can i bottle it and prime it in wine bottles with corks? or will the corks just shoot right out of the bottle from the pressure?
 
Your corks are going to shoot out. You can bottle in champagne bottles, as long as you use the cages on them.

If you already have a capper, just use beer bottles. You need a capper (as far as I know) to put corks in wine bottles anyway.
 
DO NOT BOTTLE IN WINE BOTTLES.

The glass is not made to handle the pressure of carbonization.

Champagne bottles or anything that holds carbonated drinks (plastic soda bottles, etc) are fine
