A bottle is a small pot with a neck that is narrower than the body and a "mouth." Bottles are often made of glass, plastic or aluminum, and typically used to store liquids. e.g. water, milk, soft drinks, beer, wine, cooking oil (for both cooking and as fuel), medicine, liquid soap, shampoo, ink, etc.
For some bottles a place is paid, which is returned after returning the bottle to the retailer. For other glass bottles there is often separate rubbish collection for recycling. A device used to close the mouth of a bottle is called a bottle cap (external), or stopper (internal). A bottle can also be sealed using initiation sealing .
The glass bottle was an important development in the history of wine, because, when combined with a high-quality stopper such as a cork, it allowed long-term aging of wine. Glass has all qualities required for long-term storage. It also ultimately gave rise to "château bottling," the practice where an estate's wine is put in bottle at the source, rather than by a merchant. Prior to this, wine would be sold by the drum and put into bottles only at the merchant's shop, if at all. This left a massive and often abused opportunity for fraud and corruption, as the final consumer had to trust the merchant as to the contents of his or her glass. It is thought that most wine consumed outside of wine-producing regions had been tampered with in some way. Also, not all merchants were especially careful to avoid oxidation or pollution while bottling, leading to large bottle distinction. Particularly in the case of port, certain conscientious merchants' bottling of old ports fetch higher prices even today.
