Things that don't work good:
score all around the bottle - Seen this in lots of places. This is almost never a good idea, since it is difficult to match the line to itself. Some seem to have had success with a jig.
saw - you can do this with a tile saw maybe, since it will keep everything cool with the water flow. Expensive setup (maybe good for a makerspace)
flame polishing - While this is probably the best,and certainly the most professional means to accomplish this, you really need to anneal glass after flame polishing. While I don't have any personal experience with this, I have it on good authority. An annealing furnace might be a good thing for a makerspace to have. We could totally attract the glass community with that...
tying a string, alcohol, using a candle, setting it on fire, using ice, cold water, etc.. - come on, people. we can do better than that
