I've heated wine and cola bottles to a very high temp before, and
never had one crack or break. Was heating them to around 1400ºC, so
hot they become like taffy, and stretch of their own weight.

Anyway, the place I used to work, has a big 4'x4'x4' oven, and I
thought baking 150 to 200 used bottles at once would be a real time
saver.
