Bottling & storage questions

[saramc]

Everything I have read about E-Z caps stresses that the finished product needs to be stored in refrigerator. I will be making mead/wine/cider for now but was wondering for wine, if I were to choose to use campden and potassium sorbate would I be able to traditionally bottle in glass, cork and store at room temperature? For mead and/or cider, would that concept also apply but bottle in PET bottles (which are appropriate for carbonated products and come in a variety of sizes)?? Thanks!
