My earlier post tells that I am new to this ( and excited ). Still in the process of collecting wine bottles for my first kit. Am I able to use corks in a bottle that originally has a screw top?

Re: Wine bottles.
Screwtop bottles are sometimes a different internal diameter so you may have problems with the fit, and the glass tends to be thinner so there's some risk of breakage.
It's usually possible to re-use the original screwtops a couple of times, or you can buy replacement ones.

I use the plastic topped corks. Far easier then ramming them in with a corker. As above, some bottles fit and others are too big,if you live near a supermarket with a bottle bank,you get to know which ones do and don't.

Not sure of the corks that you mean. Do you use these in bottles that originally had screw tops also?

Yes. It's a cork,but with a plastic stopper on the top. I've used real corks with a corker and plastic corks, but personally prefer these.
