easton:

Bottle @ a vessel made of skins for holding wine Joshua:9:4. 13; 1Samuel:16:20; Matthew:9:17; Mark:2:22; Luke:5:37-38), or milk Judges:4:19), or water Genesis:21:14-15, 19), or strong drink Habakkuk:2:15). Earthenware vessels were also similarly used Jeremiah:19:1-10; kjvKings:14:3; Isaiah:30:14). In Job:32:19 (comp. Matthew: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 Hosea: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 Psalms:119:83 as an image to which the psalmist likens himself.
