Kitchen Krafts as a bottle specific for doing things like herbed vinegars. They come with screw on caps. Corks and the bottles these go to are usually green color and are made for bottling wines. If you have a wine making supply store near you, they can also offer you some options, but keep in mind they are usually tinted glass.

Not sure it's what you want but here is a source. The people are friendly and helpful, so give them a call if you need more info.

I got some great ones at the local wine making shop. Some nice sealing wax, too, to dip the corks in. Looked really professional when I got done.

One of my fav places for many years. Type cork or bottles into their search and stand back.

Love that AS&S..

Thanks for these great links. I've bookmarked both AS&S and Specialty Bottle. (I've been spending money at KK for some time!)

Question (again! thanks for putting up with it!) Seems most receipes that I have found for hot suace or for vinegar say to refrigerate for up to a few weeks. When you give this as a gift, do you tell them to refrigerate it immediately? Is there any way to "can" a homemade vinegar or hot sauce so it is shelf stable?

Thanks so much! You guys are the best.

Happy harvesting,

I think that hot sauces lose some heat, but herbed vinegars should keep well. Refrigeration seems to help hold the freshness of the herbs that have been added. Vinegar by itself is fine, but when you add herbs, it may be wise to heat process. This will obviously kill some of the delicate flavor as well as bacteria.
