What are "Ovos"?

What is the comparison to wine that is not opened?

1.

Rashi: My stomach desires to answer, like new wine in new flasks. The wine expands, and breaks the flasks.

2.

Malbim: The Ru'ach that bubbles in wine and is held in it, it wants to leave. An old flask can hold it. If it is new, it cleaves. Also I am not used to holding in my words - they will break out!
