ワイン

I went to a shop yesterday to research some wine for the next wine tasting event. Toru showed me the shop as he is a regular customer. While we were walking there, he asked me what we call that type of shop in English. In the USA, they say liquor store but in Britain we usually say off licence. We may also say wine shop or wine merchant for a business that specifically sells wine.

I bought a bottle of manzanilla sherry, a bottle of Chardonnay and a bottle of tawny port; I tried various types of red wine but could not find a good one. My favourite grape variety is Tempranillo; yesterday's selection was a Merlot, a Syrah and a Tempranillo-Cabernet Sauvignon blend.

Toru and I are planning the next wine tasting event to be announced soon.
