Yes, but be carefull anytime you pressurize a glass bottle as not to
make a bomb. The hot/cold idea is better as the pressure will not be
that great. you could do a similar thing with pop. put some
carbonated pop in there, and shake it. It won't give off the same
amount of co2 that the vinigar does, but thats the point.
