 Bottle
    a vessel made of skins for holding wine (Josh. 9:4. 13; 1 Sam.
    16:20; Matt. 9:17; Mark 2:22; Luke 5:37, 38), or milk (Judg.
    4:19), or water (Gen. 21:14, 15, 19), or strong drink (Hab.
    2:15).

      Earthenware vessels were also similarly used (Jer. 19:1-10; 1
    Kings 14:3; Isa. 30:14). In Job 32:19 (comp. Matt. 9:17; Luke
    5:37, 38; Mark 2:22) the reference is to a wine-skin ready to
    burst through the fermentation of the wine. "Bottles of wine" in
    the Authorized Version of Hos. 7:5 is properly rendered in the
    Revised Version by "the heat of wine," i.e., the fever of wine,
    its intoxicating strength.

      The clouds are figuratively called the "bottles of heaven"
    (Job 38:37). A bottle blackened or shrivelled by smoke is
    referred to in Ps. 119:83 as an image to which the psalmist
    likens himself.
