Corona: Works well with bench cappers, but "Wing" cappers tend to break the necks.

UpstateMike you're Corona comments were added to the list. Thanks for your contribution.

I've used Stella Artois bottles with regular 26mm caps, though I can't speak to exactly what particular bottle it is, they were given to me without labels and slightly smaller than 12oz if I remember correctly. I'll check the stamp when I get home. They work great with a bench capper, but probably not much of a lip to grab onto with a wing capper, similar to Corona bottles, I've used those, too.

I don't know if you want to add them, but because I know a lot of people who don't drink and I usually use champagne bottles, I get a few people giving me Martinelli's Sparkling Cider bottles(750mL only, there are 6oz ones, but those are twist-offs). Along those same lines, I've seen Aqua Panna, a bottled water served at Olive Garden, with pry off caps, though I suspect they're 29mm and of course clear. And no, Olive Garden won't save them for you, they said it was something about sanitation issues.

I also get some Mexican Coke (or Sprite or Fanta and more recently Pepsi and Squirt) bottles on occasion. They're clear (Sprite and Squirt are obviously green), but nice thick glass and they're pry-off. A case of 24 of Coke from Sam's Club is about $20 IIRC. All the Coke product ones are the same height as Corona bottles (which are a bit taller than the average 12oz), so I don't have to adjust my bench capper in between. Again, not sure if you want to add those or not, but they're out there and easily obtainable.

Someone here mentioned bottling a stout in the Coke bottles as a joke for a bachelor party, which I thought sounded pretty funny, so I thought I'd throw those bottles out there.
