Alla - This issue with glass and water is not the necessarily the pH of the solution, it's the presence of alkaline materials within the glass itself, allowing the water to react and form the alkaline solution locally and internally. However, it is a very slow process of dissolution and degradation.
(I happen to be a ceramic engineer and scientist, and have worked with the glass industry much of my career, starting in product development for Corning. The glass in a modern bottle is pretty much chemically the same as it was 100 years ago - it works and it's cheap...)
