Examples:

I poured the wine. I put the wine bottle on the shelf.
However, you could say that you put a liquid into a glass, and it wouldn't be incorrect. It's just more common to say pour. You could say "I put the milk in that glass", or "You put water into that bottle". But you CAN'T say "I poured that glass on the table" or "I poured the plate on the table" - that doesn't make sense. "Pour" means to move liquid from one place to another, normally into a glass or a cup.
