Drilling holes in glass is easy if a bit tedious, as long as you start with reasonably thick glass and don't put pressure on the drill.
thanks! I was thinking about outdoor growing, that is why i mostly asked about brand of containers as i know some of them can be not ok under UV and heat. Did you ever have any issues with glass as it can heat water even more?
