The thing is, there needs to be quite a bit of heat transferred to the glass for it to work. that being said, I really doubt that this would work in a reasonable amount of time. the only thing that could in principle cause this sort of "cutting" would be rapid cooling of the glass causing a controlled break.

You apply a narrow ridge of heat to the glass and then cool it quickly. The glass then breaks at the point where the temperature change is the greatest. It's like putting an empty glass coffee pot on the burner and having it crack. Only in this case, it's controlled. I'd be afraid the bottle might explode into little glassy bits. If it did you would definitely get hurt. The idea is sound. You apply a narrow ridge of heat to the glass and then cool it quickly.
