To find the median number of maple syrup bottles sold in a month, we first need to arrange the data in ascending order:

21, 20, 28, 46, 48, 48, 48, 72, 96, 110, 111, 115

Since there are 12 months in a year, the median will be the average of the 6th and 7th values in the ordered list:

(48 + 48) / 2 = 48

Therefore, the median number of maple syrup bottles sold in a month is 48.
