    I can't know for sure if this is the best, but this is a good one! https://www.amazon.com/Glass-Bottle-Cutter-Bottles-Cutting/dp/B0115RT944

    OH! I'm SO glad you asked! I've been looking for the answer to this forever! And, I think I've finally got it solved. You don't want to take a chance on having your bottle crack or broken if you've been saving it so, I found a You-Tube video that shows how to do this. But, I'll tell you briefly how. You fill the bottle you want to cut with water until you get to the point you want to cut it. Use a marker and trace the water line all the way around your bottle. This will be your scoring line. Then using a tool that you purchase from a hardware store that cuts glass, score your bottle on that line - thinly. Do not go back and forth over the line multiple times and make it too wide. You want just one thin line. Next, take a heated, wood burning tool with a line edge attachment on it and hold the edge against the scored line putting the tiniest bit of pressure on the bottle. You will hear it crack in about 20 seconds. Go to the end of the crack and apply pressure again to the score line. It will crack more. Keep doing it until it cracks all the way around the bottle. The top (or whatever part of the bottle will fall off with a nice even line all the way around your bottle. Then to finish it off, there are 6 or 7 different grades of wet/dry sand paper to be used to make it smooth enough to drink out of. The You-tube video shows them, too. You'll love the results

    It is so slick. I did several in one night. I had been looking forever for something that would do a good job without ruining the glass and tried several. This one was ideal😁. Good luck and tell me how it goes.

    We were doing a lot of remodeling and using ceramic tiles. We bought tile saw at Home Depot. I used it to cut wine bottles to for outdoor (or indoor) covers for candles on my patio . Really looked pretty and because there was a guide to set the base of the bottle against while I was cutting, it was easy and even!.
