All with a history dating back to the late 19th century. The companies ‘Boteria Jesus Blasco’, ‘Las Tres ZZZ’ and ‘Boteria Domingo los tres D.D.D’ are the main producers of traditional Spanish wineskins. If you want to use it for water or carbonated sweet drinks, your choice should be latex. If you want to use it mainly for wine you are recommended to choose the traditional format. The “pez” interior wineskin is the original ‘Bota’, the one that has been used for generations. Latex wineskins instead of having resin waterproofing have a wineskin shaped latex bag inside the skin, which actually contains the liquid. Firstly there is the interior known as ‘pez’ (derived from pine or juniper resin and it is used for waterproofing the inside of the wineskin) and then there is the interior with latex. There are two types of wineskin that vary because of their interior. Traditional models are shaped as a water drop and usually have a curved face to facilitate the movement of liquid from the container to the user's mouth.
#LEATHER WINESKIN HOW TO#
Lightweight, flexible, durable, environmentally friendly, easy to carry, waterproof, practical, hygienic, attractive, simple but perfect in design, the wineskin is a legacy of our past and a product that charms those who know how to enjoy the basic pleasures of life.
Written evidence of its existence has been found as far back as ancient Greece (Homer in the Odyssey when Ulysses the hero gets Cyclops Polyphemus drunk by giving him wine in skins), in the Bible (Noah’s children got him drunk too using similar artefacts), in the immortal Cervantes' Don Quixote (when the old gentleman takes swipes and lunges at the landlord) and throughout the Golden Age of Spanish literature the references multiply. The original history of the ‘bota’ was really lost in ancient times but it was the Spanish that kept it alive. The ‘bota’ has been very important in Spanish history, being one of the containers used most by the Spanish people. On any traditional festivity this instrument emerges as one of the stars being passed between friends. Spain is the country with the greatest 'Botera' tradition in the world. The ‘Bota’ or wineskin is a leather bag used to contain any kind of liquid, but it is typically used to preserve and transport wine.
