The practice, called christening, isn't performed when a ship is commissioned; it's performed when the ship is first launched from land to water.
The practice goes back thousands of years. It is considered a form of baptism of sorts, and though other liquids have been used over time, the liquid of choice is typically wine or sparkling wine (champagne). In some instances in the past, whiskey has also been used.
There is great superstition that follows a ship that is not properly christened, and sailors are a very superstitious group. It is no secret that vessels that have been improperly christened have had bad luck or serious problems during their history, far more than normal.

How can one make a ship in a bottle?
first, the bottle is created, just the same as any other bottle. The tricky part is inserting the ship. the ship must be made in a way that the mast and sails can be collapsible so that everything can fit through the neck of the jar. once the collapsed version of the ship is inside, it must be erected and the masts glued in place. This takes quite a bit of skill from the person who made the ship.
