Wine bar
A tavern-like business focused on selling wine.
Last updated
A wine bar is a tavern-like business that focuses on selling wine, rather than liquor or beer. A typical feature is a wide selection of wines available by the glass, and some wine bars specialize in wines of a certain type or origin, such as Italian wine or Champagne. Wine bars may be private stand-alone establishments or associated with a wine retailer, and in some jurisdictions they function as a hybrid between a wine shop and a wine bar.
