well, windows are outside all year round.
Perhaps that demijohn had been dropped and had a tiny crack that you didn't notice?

I think they should be fine if they hadnt held any liquid.
Glass that holds liquid over winter, that then freezes and melts etc etc can (no scientist but I think this is right) become weaker.

I hope it wasn't full of wine!!

Put some water in them and place in a bucket or bowl and leave for a few days, any that do break will be contained in bucket / bowl. No mess to clean up.

If ever you are short of demi-johns go to your local re-cycling centre. Ours sell them for 50p each.
