Yes, but only after an extended period of time, and depending on the concentration. I kept a 500 mL glass jar off 50% NaOH in my lab for two years and the glass didn't dissolve, but did get eaten away. At the bottom of the jar there was a rather thick, but under a cm, layer of residue and you could tell that the NaOH has eaten some of the glass away.

Why are reagent bottle made of glass?
Not all reagent bottles are glass. Bottles for Hydrofluoric acid are plastic-- it will eat through glass! Some Reagent bottles are polypropylene. The glass-stoppered ones that used to be some common in labs were because they didn't have the plastics they do now. Many nasty acids, like concentrated Nitric, will dissolve most bottle caps--rubber, cork, steel, etc. The loose ground-glass stoppers are inert to most acids and alkalies, and also don't contaminate the reagent. Picric Acid, for example, used to be readily available; it wasn't too corrosive but would produce a sensitive high explosive if exposed to copper and some other metals.
