oinochoe
Explanation:
I think it's also used in English. If you try to google it, you'll find many English sites using this word. From what I've seen, it means "wine-jug" or "wine-pitcher"

agree  Angelica Perrini: I cannot but agree. Along with wine places, wine tools were the main subject of my graduation thesis, containing a trilingual glossary. I made a lot of research and found that the term OINOCHOE is left in the original in several languages (eg.EN/IT/JA)
