tire width

I know thinner is faster, but I’m not into comp racing, I just like covering a lot of ground.
I noticed BD sells Mercier bikes that tout 28mm tires.
Can a road bike that comes with a 23mm tire take a larger tire, or does it have to be designed for it? I haven’t seen any rims widths listed anywhere.
How often do 23mm tires blowout? Is a 28mm any more durable?
