Como bien dice Lorena:
bota:

En el Marco de Jerez, se conoce como bota a un barril o tonel de 500 litros fabricado en roble americano.

Barrica:
Una barrica, cuba, o tonel es un recipiente de madera utilizado para la crianza de vino. La barrica oxigena el vino lentamente y le aporta textura y aroma para suavizar su sabor. Suelen tener una capacidad de 220 litros. Si es de 225 litros es llamada "barrica bordelesa".
