Default Bottle Size

I am considering getting into making wine within a year or two. I have
no experience with wine making at all. I have four grape vines in my
back yard that I am considering making the wine from. I am sure that
with only four vines I will only realize a small amount of wine at the
end of the process. My questions concern bottle size when I get to that
stage.

Question one: Does the size of the bottle matter?
I am considering using beer bottles. The reason I ask is with such a
small amount of wine that can be made from four vines, a 750 ml bottle
would represent a large portion of the total I would make. I would
prefer to open a small amount when it comes time to drink it.

Question two: Is the opening of a beer bottle the same diameter as a
wine bottle?
In other words, can I use the same type cork ss for a wine bottle?

Question three: Will other types of caps work or cause problems on a
beer bottle besides a cork?
I ask since I know someone who home brews and can borrow beer bottling
equipment from him.

I would also appreciate any suggestions about making small quantities of
wine such as I would be doing.
