appreciated.

Call around to restaurants and places that cater to weddings and ask
them to save the champagne bottles for you. You can offer to pay them
a couple of bucks for a case, but if you ask around enough, you can
generally get them for free. No, they are not exactly 1/2 liter, but
they
are close enough. A standard champagne bottle will accept a beer
bottle cap. Some do not, however, so bring a cap with you when you
go to pick them up.

A homebrew store.
A Google search for 500 ml beer bottles turned up a half dozen
homebrew stores on the first page.

I have found the local homebrew stores can often get the bottles for you
much cheaper, since you are not having to pay for shipping. But, I have
many times ordered from the internet: www.williamsbrewing.com
www.midwestsupplies.com www.northernbrewer.com www.grapeandgranary.com are
just a few of the online suppliers I have used and always gotten great
service from all. www.morebeer.com is another great site, but I don't
believe they are selling bottles, any longer (I could be wrong). Anyway, in
the 500cc size, you are probably wanting the Grolsch style swing top
bottles, which I have used a lot. They are easy to use and I have had a
pretty good supply on hand for years without losing any (EZ cap is one brand
and I think williamsbrewing had some nice heavy duty glass bottles last time
I checked). Anyway, I hope this helps -- at least more than the "go google
it for yourself" reply.
