A Parable of Wrath
Commentators explain that this simple statement is a powerful parable. The 'bottles' (earthen jars, not leather skins) represent the people of Judah, emphasizing their fragility. The 'wine' they will be filled with is not a blessing, but the intoxicating wine of God's wrath. This imagery signifies that God's judgment for their sin would be total, filling every part of their society and leading to their ruin.
