plaster wouldn't work; rule #1 with molds: whenever possible, use a soft mold for a hard cast, and a hard cast for a soft mold.
making fake glass bottles is expensive mold-wise; you might get good results with alginate, but it would be good for only one bottle and I don't know if the heat of the recipe could destroy the mold before the cast is finished. your best bet would be silicone with a plaster shell; expensive, but resistent and reusable.
