The Zulu are known for weaving and pottery in South Africa. They store their alcohol in clay pots using a coil method. They clay helps keep the alcohol fermented and holds a large amount of liquid. Pots with necks were called uphisi, which helped during transportation of the pot. The biggest events, which are usually weddings, require large amounts of beer and therefore used many pots.
