What sort of bottle for a starter mix?

Hi All

I'm going to make my first yeast starter mix tonight, for brewing on Sunday. It says in all the books and forums I have read, "use a bottle". What sort of bottle?

A clear wine bottle of 75cl, or a 1L bottle or what. I know they have to be sterile and I have everything else ready to go apart from the correct size bottle.

Thanks for your help.

Mord.

a pint milk bottle should do fine, the stumpy ones take a bung easily so you can put an airlock on it.

I just use a demijohn with foil over it.

Ideal is an Erlenmeyer flask that you can stick straight on the stove
