Joe,
You have to look at the inside of the screw top to make sure that it will
seal properly. If it does, then there's no reason not to use them. I've got
a few bottles that I've set aside for aging that are in fancy liquor
bottles. I usually try to fit a cork in the bottle before using the screw
top just to be on the safe side.
