German term or phrase: Vinothek
Die Vinothek des kleinen Ortes .....

Some kind of a small wine shop. Just need a better one ;-(
Lukas
English translation:wine boutique
Explanation:
Unless the context specifically specifies that it is a wine bar, most German Vinotheks are, in fact, wine shops that offer a variety of wine, either from a specific region, or from several areas. Comparable establishments are frequently called wine boutiques in English-speaking countries. This would fit with the "small wine shop" mentioned by the asker.

"wine bar" is not necessarily the same as a "vinothèque" - besides, there is no reason to "dumb" things down for certain "English speaker", as was indicated here.
