I would recommend against using wine bottles for carbonated beer, most wine bottles are not rated to hold much pressure.
I've come into a bunch of 375 ml wine bottles I was planning to put sour beer into. However, now I am realizing I need to somehow cage/cap them to keep the corks in.
Anybody recognize this bottle neck and/or have an idea how to cage it? I don't imagine sealing wax would be enough to contain it?
I appreciate even the vaguest of ideas.

You need a Belgian-style bottle(contact Pascal@ United Bottles)as you don't have enough of a lip for your cage to catch.

Yes, don't put carbonated product into that bottle. Not built for it.
And I might point out that Pascal now has a 375 ml belgian style bottle that is cork and cage finish, or cork and cage OR crown finish. Very nice!
