What is the ruling on bequeathing a jug containing wine?

Primary text

The bequest of the jug is valid, but the bequest of the wine is void. This is because the jug possesses a permissible benefit, whereas the wine has no permissible benefit. Thus, the bequest is valid for that which contains a permissible benefit, similar to a bequest of wine alongside vinegar.
