Running out of bottles..Any ideas?

[Aqualung]

I currently have:-
2 gallons Wild Cherry
1 gallon Raspberry, Red Currant, Raspberry & Red Currant, Nettle, Eelderflower, Rhubarb
5 gallons of Bramble which is coming to the end of its ferment.

I only have 18 empty bottles.

I have enough Elderberries, Brambles and Plums in the freezer to make 5 gallons of each.

I was wondering if I cold use Bag in Boxes to store the wine until I can bottle it?

Has anyone got any other suggestions if BIB's are not a good idea?

Raid the recycling place/wine bar bin/restaurant bin...buy some?

Any local eateries that allow BYOB, they will have plenty of empties every weekend. 1.5 litre vodka bottles from pubs/clubs is another source if you want to keep 2 bottles worth, also source a few 1/4 wine bottles for the leftovers.

Tesco 2L bottles of water are 17p. ASDA 12x500 under £2. But BIBs should work too https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-x-5-Li...rage-Homebrew-Plain-White-Boxes-/302037136549

Hi!
Put it in 5 litre supermarket water bottles for a couple of months; that gives you time to collect bottles from sources named above. Use the water to make wine from your frozen fruits.

I go to pubs and ask for bottles, I also give out beers to friends and ask for the empties.

if you can find a pub that still sells wine by the glass the 1.5 litre bottles will have screw threads which allow you to use these - https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/...le-plastic-screw-caps-for-wine-bottles.56326/

I bought some 75oml bottles and a load of these caps years ago and they are still airtight after many uses.
