Hú sounds like who. A 壶 is a pot or kettle for tea or wine, and doubles as a classifier for bottled liquids.
壶 — lid 士 + body 冖 + belly 业 + base 一
壶 is a pictograph of an ancient pot or kettle, showing a lid on top, a rounded body, and a flat base. The traditional form 壺 preserves this shape more clearly. It originally depicted ritual wine or water vessels and now means pot, kettle, or jug.
