In Indian English, a 'wineshop' is a liquor store — a retail outlet licensed to sell alcohol, not necessarily limited to wine. The term is widely used across India despite the shop typically selling beer, spirits, and local liquors as well. It carries a slightly ironic quality given that wine is rarely the primary product. In its universal sense, a wineshop is simply a shop that sells wine, but the Indian usage extends the meaning broadly.
There was a long queue outside the wineshop on the evening before the festival.
