I was wondering about this!
We're hoping to get our second batch more fizzy, but have been wondering the best type of bottles to use (I've heard you have
to be carefull of explosions!)
So, do you just put it in the old wine bottles and cork it with the same cork?
How long do you then let it sit to get nice and bubbly?
Also, do you add anything to help along the process (more sugar? or a bit of juice?)

Thanks!

I just use the same corks. A week is long enough, IMO. Though it keeps longer. I have had some pop the corks, but I just put the corks back in. I don't add anything else.

FWIW, my kids don't like it like this. It does have a harder taste.
