wine store
A retail establishment primarily selling wine, with broader alcohol or general beverage stores classified separately.
A wine store is a retail establishment whose merchandise consists primarily of wine.
If a large variety of other alcoholic beverages are sold, it should be classified as a liquor store; or, if a full variety of beverages (including non-alcoholic drinks) are sold, then it is a beverage store.
Wine must remain the primary merchandise. A large assortment of other alcoholic drinks or a full general beverage range invokes the neighboring store definitions.
