Bota Bag
A bota bag is a traditional Spanish liquid receptacle, used mainly as a wineskin. It is often made out of leather (when made of goatskin (material), goatskin it is simply known as a goatskin), and is typically used to carry wine, although any liquid can be filled into it. Construction Traditionally, bota bags were lined with goat bladders, in other cases tree sap or other resins were used to prevent liquids from seeping through. Modern bota bags have a plastic liner and nozzle. Variants The ''zahato'' is the traditional goatskin bottle of the Basque shepherds. With its narrow nozzle, it is possible to drink "zurrust", i.e. intercepting the jet without touching the bottle. The name of ''zahato'' or ''zahako'' (variants: ''xahako'' , ''zarako'') is a diminutive ''zahat-to/-ko'' of ''zahagi'' 'big goatskin bottle'. Its manufacturer is a ''zahatogile''. The zahato is made of two pieces of Tanning (leather), tanned and close-cropped goatskin. Softened, they are cut out on a l ...

Goatskin (material)
Goatskin refers to the skin of a goat, which by long term usage, is denoted by the term ''Morocco leather''. Kidskin, used for gloves, shoes and other accessories, is traditionally goatskin, although other leathers such as sheep and kangaroo can be used to make kid. Tanned leather from goatskin is considered extremely durable and is commonly used to make rugs (for example in Indonesia) and carpet binding. It is often used for gloves, boots, and other products that require a soft hide. Kid gloves, popular in Victorian times, are still made today. It has been a major material for leather bookbindings for centuries, and the oldest European binding, that of the St Cuthbert Gospel in the British Library is in red goatskin. Goatskin is used for a traditional Spanish container for wine bota bag (or called goatskin). Traditional kefir was made in bags from goatskin. Non-tanned goatskin is used for parchment or for drumheads or sounding boards of some musical instruments, e.g., mi ...

Bota De Vino
Bota (Perak Malay: ''Bote''; Jawi: بوتا; ) is a mukim in Perak Tengah District, Perak, Malaysia. It comprises two geographical areas: Bota Kiri and Bota Kanan (Left Bota and Right Bota, respectively) as it is divided by the Perak River. There is a river terrapin breeding center in Bota Kanan. Bota is also well known for its durian fruit. The town has over fifteen mosques. History Name origin The town was used to be named Brahman Indera. However, mythical folklore began to emerge among the locals of "ogres" or giants that used to hid inside caves or holes underground around the river called ''bota'' (likely from the ''bhuta'', a jin-like creature which itself has been mentioned in the Malay Annals): these giants are said by the folks to have an earthy, muddy complexion and commonly lurk around yellow bamboo groves on the banks and edge of paddy fields where fish perch. They find food commonly in the soil and will occasionally forage in the form of human or animal flesh ...

Spanish Wine
Spanish wine ( or ) includes red wine, red, white wine, white, and sparkling wine, sparkling wines produced throughout the country. Located on the Iberian Peninsula, Spain has over planted in wine grapes, making it the most widely planted wine-producing nation,K. MacNeil. ''The Wine Bible'', pp. 410–422, Workman Publishing 2001 . but the List of wine-producing countries, third largest producer of wine in the world, behind Italian wine, Italy and French wine, France and ahead of the American wine, United States; this is due, in part, to the very low yield (wine), yields and wide spacing of the old vines planted on the dry soils found in some of the Spanish wine regions. The country is second in wine exports and ninth in worldwide consumption, with Spaniards drinking, on average, per person a year. The country has an abundance of native grape varieties, with over 400 varieties planted throughout Spain, though 88 percent of the country's wine production is from only 20 grapes — ...

Bottles
A bottle is a narrow-necked container made of an impermeable material (such as glass, plastic or aluminium) in various shapes and sizes that stores and transports liquids. Its mouth, at the bottling line, can be sealed with an internal stopper, an external bottle cap, a closure, or induction sealing. Etymology First attested in 14th century. From the English word ''bottle'' derives from an Old French word ''boteille'', from vulgar Latin">-4; we might wonder whether there's a point at which it's appropriate to talk of the beginnings of French, that is, when it wa ... word ''boteille'', from vulgar Latin ''butticula'', from late Latin ''buttis'' ("cask"), a Latinisation (literature), latinisation of the Greek language, Greek βοῦττις (''bouttis'') ("vessel").

Wine Packaging And Storage
Wine is an alcoholic drink made from fermented fruit. Yeast consumes the sugar in the fruit and converts it to ethanol and carbon dioxide, releasing heat in the process. Wine is most often made from grapes, and the term "wine" generally refers to grape wine when used without any qualification. Even so, wine can be made from a variety of fruit crops, including plum, cherry, pomegranate, blueberry, currant, and elderberry. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts are major factors in different styles of wine. These differences result from the complex interactions between the biochemical development of the grape, the reactions involved in fermentation, the grape's growing environment ( terroir), and the wine production process. Many countries enact legal appellations intended to define styles and qualities of wine. These typically restrict the geographical origin and permitted varieties of grapes, as well as other aspects of wine production. Wine has been p ...

Bags
A bag, also known regionally as a sack, is a common tool in the form of a floppy container, typically made of cloth, leather, bamboo, paper, or plastic. The use of bags predates recorded history, with the earliest bags being lengths of animal skin, cotton, or woven plant fibers, folded up at the edges and secured in that shape with strings of the same material. Bags can be used to carry items such as personal belongings, groceries, and other objects. They come in various shapes and sizes, often equipped with handles or straps for easier carrying. Bags have been fundamental for the development of human civilization, as they allow people to easily collect and carry loose materials, such as berries or food grains, while also allowing them to carry more items in their hands. The English word probably originates from the Norse word ''baggi'', from the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European bʰak, but is also comparable to the Welsh baich (load, bundle), and the Greek Τσιαντου� ...

Canteen (bottle)
A canteen is a reusable drinking water bottle designed to be used by hikers, campers, soldiers, bush firefighters, and workers in the field. It is usually fitted with a shoulder strap or means for fastening it to a belt, and may be covered with a cloth bag and padding to protect the bottle and insulate the contents. If the padding is soaked with water, evaporative cooling can help keep the contents of the bottle cool. Many canteens also include a nested canteen cup. Primitive canteens were sometimes made of hollowed-out gourds, such as a calabash, or were bags made of leather. Later, canteens consisted of a glass bottle in a woven basket cover. The bottle was usually closed with a cork stopper. Designs of the mid-1900s were made of metal – tin-plated steel, stainless steel or aluminum – with a screw cap, the cap frequently being secured to the bottle neck with a short chain or strap to prevent loosening. These were an improvement over glass bottles, but w ...

New Wine Into Old Wineskins
New Wine into Old Wineskins (''οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιούς'', lit.: New Wine into Old Bags) is a parable of Jesus. It is found at Matthew 9 (), Mark 2 (), and Luke 5 (). Passage The parables follow the recruitment of Levi as a disciple of Jesus, and appear to be part of a discussion at a banquet held by him (). Joel B. Green, The Gospel of Luke', Eerdmans, 1997, , pp. 248–50. The parables are told in response to a question about fasting: Jesus' response continues with the two short parables. Luke has the more detailed version: Interpretation The two parables relate to the relationship between Jesus' teaching and traditional Judaism. According to some interpreters, Jesus here "pits his own, new way against the old way of the Pharisees and their scribes." In the early second century, Marcion, founder of Marcionism, used the passage to justify a "total separation between the religion that Jesus and Paul espoused and that of the Hebrew Scrip ...

Waterskin
A waterskin is a receptacle used to hold water. Normally made of a sheep or goat skin, it retains water naturally and therefore was very useful in desert crossings until the invention of the canteen, though waterskins are still used in some parts of the world. Though it may have been used over 5,000 years ago by tribal peoples, the first pictures of it are from ancient Assyrians, who used the bladders as floats in 3000 BCE. It also was used by large ancient empires such as Rome before the advent of the canteen. Modern waterskins are often made of various plastic- or rubber-impregnated canvases, or sometimes simply thicker transparent plastics, and are often called water-pouches, water bags, or water bladders. Such modern waterskins offer many features, such as detachable straw-hoses, valves, refill openings of various widths, various closures and handles, styles of covering or cases, and removable cases or carry pouches. A particular style, often called hydration pack, is distin ...

Mashk
A mashk or mashq (Hindi: मश्क, Urdu: مَشْکَ; ISO: ''Maśka'') is a traditional water-carrying bag, usually made of waterproofed goat-skin, from North India, Pakistan and Nepal. ''Mashqs'' can vary in size, from a hand-held bag, which was often used to carry liquids such as alcohol, to a large sized bag that comes with shoulder strap. They usually have only one narrowed opening. A person who is carrying a large ''mashk'' is called a ''māshqi'' (माश्की, ماشْکِی). Traditionally, in the northern part of the South Asia, the larger ''mashq'' was associated with the ''Bhishti'' (भिश्ती, بهِشْتِی) subcaste who were employed as water-carriers by all other sections of society and often seen dispensing water (for a fee) in public places, gardens and construction sites. Since water came as a great relief to people and plants during the hot summer in the northern Indian plains, the term ''Bhishti'' derives from the Persian root word ''bahis ...
