Bootlegger is an American term meaning "the man who hides a bottle in his boot" and refers to an alcohol smuggler (beer, rum, wine and spirits). Appeared during the Civil War1, the term is also used for smugglers of the Prohibition period that began in the United States and Canada between the years 1917 and 1935.
The bottles could then have a curved shape, for better fit into the boots.
