Can't. Glass has a melting temperature of around 1400-1600°C , and most household ovens top out at around 500 degrees so no, you cannot melt glass without a kiln.
We've throw bottles into fire pit & melted them not uniformly. You can buy microwave home kilns but complete wine bottle would not fit in one. you can make backyard kiln DIY easy low cost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHYCbHBw7zs Another https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjaqHhqOMDM
I use a berns-o-matic torch. Support the neck from above and move the flame around the area you want to soften
You need a kiln, I would worry about them breaking using any other method.
there are microwave kilns that are apparently used for fused glass. I have never used one but they are inexpensive on Amazon
