I used to use these all the time, but found that after 3 or 4 uses they
started to leak, and so were not cost-effective over time. For short-term
storage of simple "glugging-plonk" I use the PET bottles, which can be used
over and over again. Just get a load of bottled water from the supermarket!

Obviously, for something nicer, glass is better - but I still re-use the
screw-top ones.
