Yes, of course you can. I have been doing it for more years than I care
to recall. I still make summer/picnic novelty wines using pint mason
jars that have been converted to drinking mugs by the addition of a
glass handle (I'm sure many folks here have seen them.)

The lids are designed to provide long term storage for things like pickles,
so wine presents no problem. Don't try to vacuum seal the jars. Simply
use the lid and ring like a two piece screw cap. So long as they are
stored in a reasonably dry location there is no problem with corrosion.
Adequate sulfite will prevent oxidation. HTH

Thank you. I have two different types of containers for the
finished product, and I'll also try to get bottles and corks.
Maybe I'll use all three--- Mason jars included. :-)
