Here are some useful terms to know when having a drink in a bar, a restaurant or visiting a vineyard or a brewery in a French speaking country.
A rich vocabulary
French vocabulary is rich indeed, but can also be tricky.
Having some tips when entering a bar or a restaurant could come handy.
Here are some clues :
A beer mug une chope de bière
A can une canette (de coca cola, de bière…)
A glassful (or a shot of wishey) un verre (une rasade would be a up to the top glass of water, wine... - ou un verre de whisky)
Half-litre bottle une chopine
A half pint of lager un demi
A mouthful (a gulp) une gorgée
Here is an easy one… A pint une pinte
A pitcher (or a jug) un pichet (de vin, d’eau)
A round wine glass un ballon (de vin rouge, blanc, rosé)
Santé ! Cheers !
