wineshop

Merlot buying place

A wineshop is a store that sells wine, typically specializing in wine rather than other alcoholic beverages.

The term is somewhat old-fashioned in American English, where wine shop (two words) or wine store is more common: We stopped at a wineshop in the village to pick up a bottle for dinner.
