Wineskin

When Camilo Jose Cela travelled around the Alcarria in 1946 it was customary to drink wine from a wineskin. Seventy years later it is less frequently used but it is still an ethnographic feature. The wineskin has undergone adaptations: at first it was not as we know it; they were wineskins made of whole skins. They were large and could hold up to 120 litres.
