I had the same thoughts, and now I do the last few bottles in 375 ML
bottles. I have to buy them, not reuse them from wine stores. But it's
worth it.
They take the standard #9 corks.

In fact, some wines I buy in bulk and rebottle! Like Chenin Blanc that I
use for cooking (take a gallon and put into 375Ml bottles and use 1/2
bottle at a time. Or Chablis at a gallon and put into smaller bottles
for Sangria.

You are on the right track, but you have to purchase 375 ML little
bottles. smile. I buy 24 at a time! smile. clear is easiest since i can
see what the wine looks like.
