So these are for wine bottles, it is retrofit with the collar, it isn't just the flip cap.

IKEA sells bottles like this

The Ikea bottles warn against using their bottles for pressurized uses. Iir the glass isn't rated for that.

Also, nothing I've used flip caps for has kept carbonation well after priming.

In the post it is explained that it is meant for reusing wine bottles not buying new ones. And it mostly doesn't matter that it can't be used under pressure because it is for syrups and other non pressure stuff.
