Wine shop versus wine bar

A wine shop is retail: take a bottle home, ask for a pairing, compare prices. A wine bar is hospitality: glasses, maybe small plates, sometimes retail on the side. If you want to learn a region, a good shop conversation is faster than a tasting flight you did not ask for. If you want an hour with friends, sit down. Our search treats both as places. We will not collapse them into one type just to look dense.
