My wife wants my next brew to be rhubarb wine, we have 10 plants in the garden so will be looking to make quite a lot. No doubt she'll want raspberry wine, plum wine and pear wine soon lol
My question is... can I reuse screw top bottles or should I use corks?

You can buy Nova caps to reuse screw top bottles they can also be reused once fitted your looking at approx 20p each :thumb:
 
I do all x3

cork 'corkable' bottles.
re-use screw caps, many many times.
use Novatwist caps (as mentioned, also re-useable).

I'm gradually moving to 100 % novatwist, they are brilliant.
 
Screw top wine bottles will also take a cork, just don't be brutal with it when putting the cork in or pulling it out. If you do reuse screw top bottles then prove the cap is holding by putting the bottle in a wine rack, any weepage will show and you can then either cork it or use the novatwists.
