I was wondering that myself. I tried heating a beer bottle sized bottle once and that puppy got hot. So if you were to cut it near the neck with a torch, you're looking at some heat in the glass, not to mention what'll come out the top as hot air.

I actually did have one blow up in the kiln once. Thank goodness for 4" thick kiln doors!
2Sheds....I've never tried it with bottle glass, but you might try this technique. Keep in mind that anytime glass breaks some is lost as dust/particulate so you'll never get a truly clean edge.

Oh, and I've hit wine bottles with flame before....they crack easily, so be careful.
