Why is it feminine?
Botella is feminine because it derives from the Latin "butylla" or "butticula," diminutive forms of "buttis" (barrel), and Latin diminutives ending in "-ula" were grammatically feminine, a gender that carried forward into Spanish. This is a regular pattern rather than an exception—Spanish inherited the feminine gender from the Latin diminutive suffix.
