what would be the word for "glass" as in glass of wine and "bottle" as in "bottle" of milk?
vaso for glass? bottle for envase?

Here in Robot's post I have found a mistake (Disfruto mucho una taza de chocolate cuando hace frío afuera.) The phrase would be Disfruto de una taza de chocolate cuando hace frío), the sentence without the word De does not make sense for me, it will sound better with the word De suffixed.

I agree with Jessica. I still can't find the mistake.

The mistake was using disfrutar without the word de after it. Both can be used, but disfrutar de sounds better than disfrutar, especially in Mexican Spanish.
