Where to acquire empty bottles?

I'm running a blind tasting event next weekend and as part of it I want to put the wines into empty bottles, so people can pour the wines themselves without seeing what they are. Any ideas where I can acquire some? Worst case scenario I'll buy a 6 pack of cheap cleanskin and sink them all :oops:

ask at a local restaurant. They just toss them out.

If you are in Sydney i can give you six empty bottles, no problem.. or you can drink a bottle of wine every second day until next weekend :P

You're welcome to come to my place and go through the wheelie bin. There would be half a dozen in there for sure. :wink:

Is there a local winery nearby? They may be able to provide several bottles of the same size and shape.

On a serious side. K-Mart or Target will have some in their shops. Similar to those with the flip tops that you get water in at a cafe.
