Is this really an issue with bottles, or with their corks/stoppels? My
lord and I recently took up glassblowing and I have a couple of blown-glass
wine bottles here of a sort much like what could have been blown in period.
Mine have fairly thick walls (much thicker than a modern machine-made
glass bottle) because the temperature of the molten glass was (relatively)
low. I'd be surprised if these couldn't handle a significant amount of
internal pressure. Corks/stoppels that won't fly across the room are
another matter!
