One more thing. The flesh is made from clay. Bottles were made from clay. If new wine is put into to flesh (clay bottles) the bottles would burst. The Jews represent the first born, the church represents the second born. The new wine had to be put into NEW bottles.

"If any man be in Christ he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new". Luke 5: 38 is speaking about a new Nature that has to be imparted at conversion, that agree with the things of God before one can know them. Verse 39 is saying the old life to the lost, with it's pleasures, is more palatable than the restrictions of a the new life in Christ.
I suppose this parable could have different applications.
The parable is about the loss of things.
I think this parable matches this scripture:
Matthew 12:43-45
[43] When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. [44] Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. [45] Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
If a believer takes this new wine (word of God), and attempts to put it into his old man; both the old man and the effect of the word on him will be lost. This same man then continues in a delusional state, thinking he is saved, and must resort to alternate, flesh pleasing, interpretations in order to hold on to the word and church ceremony.

The literal interpretation: As new wine ferments, it generates carbon dioxide gas that exerts pressure on the skin bottles. New skins expand; old, inflexible ones burst under the pressure.
The illustrative interpretation: This illustration was part of Jesus’ answer as to why his disciples did not conform to all the old customs and practices of the Pharisees. Jesus evidently implied that the truth of Christianity was too powerful and energetic to be retained by the old system of Judaism, which lacked vitality and elasticity and which was fast passing away. (Mt 9:14-16)
