I have seen this translated in the UK as "cellarman", but have not seen "cellarman" used in the US. I've only seen the term "cellarer" used in medieval/monastic contexts...
Any suggestions?
Here are the two spots that the word appears in the document:
"une offre plus large chez les
cavistes et dans les bars à vin ou à ambiance
--Une offre plus large chez les cavistes et dans les bars à vin ou à ambiance"
Thanks again!

Selected
wine-merchant
It means 'a shop that sells wine', or rather, the (supposed!) expert who runs such a shop.
I think 'wine-merchant' would be the nearest equivalent UK English term, suggesting something of the old-fashioned element of expertise and service that the French would like us to think we'd be getting --- everyone probably has 'their' own special wine-merchant in whom they place their trust!
I don't know if the term is equally current in US English, but I seem to recall having seen it used a few times on the East coast at least.
HTH!

the notes feature workd to add it in to help people out once I saw
that I'd accidentally duplicated the first context!"

a more extensive choice in wine shops and wine bars...

: Not in this context - "wine merchant" or "wine shop" is closer to the mark.
