Bocksbeutel

[BAWKS-boy-tuhl] A squat, flagon-shaped, green or amber bottle used for quality wine (QbA or QmP) from Germany's franken region. Badisches Frankenland, a wine produced in the northern part of German's baden region, also uses a bocksbeutel. Bock is German for "goat," and it's said that the bottle is patterned after the scrotum of that animal. Others feel that the name is taken from a bag used to carry religious books called a Bockesbeutel in Low German.
