Bottle Types
Bottle Type or Bottle Style refer to the general appearance of the container. Since bottles come in many shapes and sizes it is possible that some bottles can be designated as different styles. Due to the long history of bottles and the fact that bottle standards are voluntary, there also have been many different names for the same type of bottle.
These terms originally referred to large glass bottles or jugs enclosed in wickerwork, but now is used to describe any container with a large body and a small neck that typically contains 20 to 60 liters (5 to 16 US gal).
