There are two meanings to the word botella, boteh ya, (1) is a bottle for holding liquids and is used in the Dominican Republic as a universal measure for milk produced by a cow. A very good cow gives 20 "botellas" a day for example. A "botella" is about a quart (+/-). (2) Means a nice, cozy, overpaid job onthe government patronage lists. Like ""Third Supervisor of the Dirty Laundry for the Government Hospitals with Less that RD$20 million in Debt" Most holders of a "botella" also hold two or three, since they don't really have to go to the job site..
Understand?
