hogsheads
Big wine casks
Hogsheads are large casks or barrels used for storing and transporting liquids, especially wine, beer, or tobacco.
The term also denotes a unit of liquid measure—typically 63 gallons in the U.S. or 52.5 imperial gallons in Britain, though the exact capacity varies by commodity and region.
The warehouse held forty hogsheads of rum.
