wineskin
Goathide drinking vessel
A wineskin is a bag made from animal hide, traditionally goatskin, used to hold wine or other liquids.
The hide is sewn and sealed to form a container that can be carried easily.
Wineskins appear frequently in biblical and historical contexts: New wine in old wineskins.
The material expands with fermentation, which is why old, stiff skins crack under new wine.
