As for the freeze thaw thing - this region in the Yukon has a VERY continental climate. It has extreme temperature fluctuations, seasonally -50 C to 35 C and daily as much as 20 to 30 C. As far as I could tell when we were at the Yukon bottle house, there were no cracked bottles. The weather is very dry, maybe more humid climates could cause greater issues with expansion and contraction.
