What is a "bottle"?

A bottle is a container typically made of glass, plastic, or metal, with a narrow neck and an opening at the top, used for storing and transporting liquids. Bottles come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, each suited for different types of liquids and purposes. Common types of bottles include those used for water, juice, wine, oil, vinegar, condiments, and toiletries, among others. Bottles may have features such as caps, corks, or screw tops to seal the contents and prevent leakage or contamination. They are versatile containers found in households, restaurants, supermarkets, and other retail outlets, used for packaging and storing a wide range of liquids for consumption, cooking, cleaning, and personal care.
