Yeah, but as you mentioned, Joe, those are not meant for long-term
aging and screwcaps are not available to home winemakers, so corks are
really the only option for wines aged 10 years. Or crown caps but
there the issue is they don't fit on regular wine bottles.

how about saving martinelli sparkling cider bottles? They take crown
caps and are 750ml.

Yeah, I know there are bottles out there that take crown caps, it's
just hard to get them in quantities I need every year, I don't drink
that much cider or sparkling wine... I though about beer bottles for a
bit but don't like the look.

I found a very good discussion here on 750 ml crown cap bottles:

One person said the European champagne bottles take a different size
cap, but that the American sparkling wine bottle take regular crown
caps. Another recommended taking a regular crown cap with you when you
shop for such bottles to make sure they take the normal crown cap and
not a special size one.
