How it's used
Use this term to distinguish products sold in bottles from those in cans or cartons. It is frequently used in convenience stores or supermarkets when asking for a specific packaging format. It sounds more natural than describing the container separately when referring to the product itself.
Examples
I want to buy a bottle of water to drink.
Does this soft drink come in a bottle?
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 樽, which refers to the bottle itself as an object. 樽裝 acts as a modifier indicating the state or packaging of the item inside.
