English Wine Shop

We’ve been here in Sector 29 for a good while now. It’s just a standard shop really, nothing too fancy. People from around Sector 30 walk over mostly. We spend a lot of time just arranging bottles and making sure the crates are out of the way so nobody trips. The floor is concrete and we keep it swept. It gets busy in the evenings when folks are headed home from work. Sometimes the lights flicker a bit but we know where everything is even in the dark. It’s just me and a couple of others here most days. We don't really do much talking except to say the price or help someone find a specific brand they're looking for. The shelves are wooden, getting a bit old now, but they hold the weight just fine. If you look for us, we’re right there in the middle of the block. It’s a simple spot. We open up early to take deliveries and stay open until the legal time. Sometimes the weather gets hot and we just sit near the fan. It’s not a big corporate chain or anything like that. Just English Wine Shop. We know the regulars by their faces even if we don't know their names. It’s been the same routine for years and we’re used to it. The street outside can get a bit noisy with the traffic from the main road. We just keep the door open to let the breeze in when it's nice out. There isn't much to it, just a local place for people to pick up what they need. We’ve got a small counter where we handle the cash and it’s been there since day one.
