You can get 1 gallon glass jugs of wine from most large chain grocery
stores for around $10. You'll be hard pressed to find a wine shop
with one gallon carboys for less than that, plus you get the wine to
boot. Usually only a cheap Merlot or a Chardonnay will be the
selection. Granted that these from the store have threaded bottle caps
on them but you can still fit a bung in there. Good luck.
