Green Glass Bottles

June 3, 2009 4:32 PM

Where can I buy glass bottles with corks? Prefer to buy in person, Twin Cities area.

Years ago, I used to buy them at Pier One. More recently, when they were still in the area, I'd buy them at World Market. You know the kind: cheapish green glass bottles, from Spain or maybe Italy, sold with corks in 'em, roughly pint size up to soft-drink bottle size. Like to get more soon for making infused vinegar.

Other stoppers acceptable as long as they're fairly secure, not homely, but also not too expensive or blingy (I like to give these away sometimes).

A home brewing/winemaking supplier, like this one in St Paul?

Actually, on second glance, I don't think they have green glass listed. But they'll probably know where to get them.

Green, schmeen. That is a preternaturally awesome suggestion. Thanks!

If you're not tied to the idea of green bottles, Ikea has these swingtop bottles for $2 each. I use the similar Grolsch bottles with pour spouts for olive oil and dish soap, and keep one filled with lemon juice in the fridge.

Midwest Brewing Supplies has them, too. (Corks are here.)
