whiskey bottles for wine

[endorphine44]

I'm making my first batch of wine next month when my 8 gal fermenter is available again and I was wondering if there is any issue with using empty whisky bottles (Pendelton 1901, Balvenie double barrel, etc) if the wine corks fit correctly?
I'll have about 18-20 real wine bottles, just don't want to buy another box of bottles if i can help it.

No problems, you can put wine into anything that can be capped or corked.

If the corks make a tight seal AND you can get them back out again... I can't see any problem!

Thanks guys, I was hoping that was the answer.

The logical thing to do would be to drink 12 or so more bottles of wine between now and bottling time.

But 12 more bottles of whiskey is more fun.
