That is why they say engarrafamento for what we say embotellament / imbottigliamento.
In Standard Catalan, though, the most common word for a bottle is ampolla.
In Spanish they should say botija, but they say botella, taken from either Catalan or French. They left the word botija for a kind of clay vase.
Funny to see English also uses Romance words for it.
An "ampolla" here is this:
Bottiglia
Caraffa
Romance languages are amazing, anyway...i love these linguistical differences/similarities

There is also the word "Giara" (pronunced "jara") for this, but isn't used because is an archaism.I don't know about the first one, seems some alchemist device. The second one is clearly a "garrafa" and the last one is a "jarro".

Oh God, this is all a game of transversal ethimologies and synonimes.

Not sure which word you mean, but around that minute she says:What's the word she says at 0.43, with such a weird sound?

Hahaha, true, she says requisito, oh Lord. You definitely should have remained Iberian instead of copying those horrible French r's.
