champagne bottles

[dave k]

HI,

I've spent all afternoon looking about on the internet, but to no avail. Anyone know where I can pick up some champagne / sparkling wine bottles? I'm gonna make some elderflower champagne and normal wine bottles are no good (they tend to explode!)

thanks as always

How many do you want Dave?

If you want to collect from Hampshire I could save some easy enough

We have a lot of big hotels around; if you ask nicely after a wedding reception they'll usually let you have as many as you like.
Cheers,
Toddy

Grolsh bottles?

Grolsh bottles?

I've got a load of flip-top beer bottles, but I really wanted some thing a bit bigger..

500ml and 1l plastic pop bottles are best. Don't look as good but the will take a lot of pressure, are easy to seal and do not explode.

I dont know how many you have in mind, but it seems like a great excuse!

When I needed some for the same job I got them from a wedding.

I also got some out of an unlocked glass recycling bin.

Toddy's idea of asking at a hotel sounds good too.

They also do Grolsh in 1.5 litre glass bottles...

Dunno if it was a special offer thing but my local shop was selling them a few months ago.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna find it difficult to get up to hampshire anytime soon.

Getting the bottles is the least of your worries - it's finding the corks and a suitable corker. Me, I'd go for pop bottles...

I found plastic champagne corks and wire cages here I prefer brewing myself.
