Wineskin facts for kids
A wineskin is an old type of container, like a bottle, made from the skin of an animal. People usually made them from goat or sheep skins. Wineskins were used to hold and carry wine long ago.

History of Wineskins
Wineskins have a very long history! People first talked about them in Ancient Greece. During ancient Greek festivals, especially those celebrating the god Bacchus (who was linked to wine), people used wineskins. These wineskins were often made from goats, and they helped keep the wine safe.
Wineskins are also mentioned in a famous saying from the Bible, called the "Parable of New Wine into Old Wineskins." This saying talks about how new ideas or ways of doing things don't always fit well with old ones. It's a way of saying that sometimes, you need new containers for new things!
