might work...might not. even though wine and beer bottle glass is soda lime, and supposedly in the 90coe range, it's a very viscous glass....stiff as shit really. so even if you had 90coe frit, it might work it might not....

i'm sure someone will chime in with a definitive answer, but my limited knowledge of bottle glass is just that...limited to only a few sessions of torch play.

i got it in my head to make an "Absolute Marble" out of an Abolute bottle and put the label/metal sticker from the top of the bottle on the marble or the marble stand. i wasn't going to use the whole bottle (although that was my first thought) but i only had a midrange and even an 1.25" mib out of bottle glass was very hard to do....so stiff.

maybe someday if i even upgrade to a 3 stage torch i'll try the entire bottle experience. that's like a 3" mib though!
