Wine bottles for water storage?

[Straight Shooter]

My thinking is...fill sterilized bottles woth purified water...cork, and then maybe seal with melted wax, should be good to go for a long time? And unless an out an out emergency, I aint drinking no water that's been in a plastic bottle longer than 5-6 months.

So don't use those with BPA.

I don't.

Look for the little recycle triangle on the plastic (It's not required, but you see it a lot). Within the triangle, there is a number. If that number is "7", it MAY contain BPA. If it's a different number, relax.

One through seven, FDA considers them all "safe". This is why I buy water containers that are made in Canada and it really keeps me relaxed, YMMV.
