See.. The traditional port in glass bottles will survive for decades, if not
centuries. If you're going to get thermal mass for your reference
oscillator, and you're going to seal it up a'la the "Cask of Amontillado",
at least use something that benefits from the age.  Plastic bottle of
processed tap water isn't it.  {N.B. Amontillado is Sherry, not Port, but
same basic idea, same benefit from age; and no, I do not recommend sealing a
time-nut in the same area.  They get cranky and inefficient.}
