The italian word "bottiglia" comes from the French "bouteille".
So both the words come from a latin word "buttis", but the old french word was "butticula" that in fact means "litte cask".
In French instead a cask is called "tonneau". See the english word "tunnel that has a different meaning.
Bottaio in Italy is a man that make casks. usually in little villages casks were made by a joiner. But not all the joiners were able to make them.
