Alors qu'un tonneau peut, en général, contenir des produits solides, tels que noix, pommes, etc., ou en poudre, l'usage veut que l'on réserve le terme «fût» pour désigner les récipients spécifiquement destinés à contenir des liquides. Ces deux termes ne sont donc pas parfaitement synonymes. 4, record 1, French, - tonneau
