PETE bottles: How can I tell which are which?



I reuse certain plastic bottles to store food products and water.  Located on the bottom of the bottle is a triangular symbol.  The letters "PETE" are imprinted underneath the triangle.  I think this labeling indicates the plastic is less porous than other types of plastic.  It keeps out oxygen better.
