Where does everyone source their bottles and corks from? I’m looking for 187.5ml splits to use for tastings instead of opening up full 750ml bottles during bottle aging.

Most LHBS sell bottles, including Label Peelers.

I get regular bottles from winery tasting rooms -- most wineries are happy to have folks take 'em as it saves the winery from having to dispose of them.

The last couple of falls I've purchased Costco's wine advent calendar, which holds 24 of the 375 ml bottles, mostly corkable, some screw cap. While that's not the 187 ml you're looking for, it's a lot closer than 750 ml.

I haven't seen 187's except as wedding favors and samples, although LP has 187 ml champagne bottles. If you have a crown capper, these will work.

Huh. The description says they will take a #7 cork, although since I have capper I'd use that.

There is no link since these are they shops that are local to where you live. Around St. Louis, MO, there used to be 5 or 6, we are down to 2 now-a-days. Depending on where you live decides who and what they are.

@Smoke In other words, LHBS is not the name of a company. It is the generic name we give to any local home brew shop. When I first joined WMT it took me a little while to figure that out.
