My first is in bottle


My first is in bottle but isn't in milk,
my second's in satin but isn't in silk,
my third and my fourth are both in a pair,
my fifth is in hope and also despair,
my last is in yellow but isn't in pink, 
my whole contains liquid for people to drink.


Scroll down for answer and notes.










This belongs to a world where there were indeed barrels: that is not true so much anymore, but I think this is still a very elegant riddle. The word pairs are meaningful AND it rhymes! Plus I like how it lets you know that the third and fourth letters are the same, along with "pair" being the clue word. Very nice!

Barrel.
