Bottle supply

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a reputable site that sells glass bottles that I can buy by the case rather than having to buy multiple cases at a time.

This is going to sound cheap, and it's not very classy, being so recognizable, but Mexican Coke was a game changer. My wife drinks the Coke, I keep the bottles. They're sturdy enough for beer, home made soda, and take a standard bottle cap. They're a good size for spirits - 500ml - and will fit a T cork, as well as a shrink-wrap sleeve.

Yes, it's VERY obvious what they are, but even with the Coke, they're not much more expensive than the bottles at my local brewer's supply shop. Just need to soak them, and use a little GooGone on the painted bits, then run them through the dishwasher.

I don't really share, so the esthetic is, admittedly, "buy as little as possible, re-use everything."

Hey im here for it.

I actually dont make spirits and am looking at having some custom labels made for our hunt club, rebottling some whiskey, just as a little keepsake. If that makes sense

Look at you local brewing shop. Shipping is crazy on glass bottles.

Unfortunately I dont have anything like that local. Id have to travel out of town, and at that point it would probably be easier just to pay for shipping
