Recorded use
Wiktionary examplesThese source excerpts show how winstub appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
Cette petite winstub propose une cuisine du terroir, dans un cadre traditionnel orné de tableaux alsaciens, d'étiquette de bouteilles de vins encadré (c'est original et plutôt esthétique) et de poêles et casseroles en cuivres accrochés aux murs […].
Les winstubs n’appartiennent plus toutes à des familles de viticulteurs, les serveuses ont remplacé les filles de la maison et, parfois, la chaude complicité qui régnait entre patrons et habitués laisse place à des relations commerciales plus banales.
