EWA STORE AVAILABLE WINES

We put ChatGPT to the test and had it craft these wine descriptions for us, because, let’s be honest, it probably has a better handle on food pairings than we do. While AI isn’t exactly known for 100% accuracy (it’s been wrong about more than a few things in its time), we think it did a pretty solid job matching wines with their ideal meals. That said, if you find yourself strongly disagreeing with a pairing like if it suggests Cabernet with sushi—we’d love to hear about it! Let us know your thoughts, and we’ll either correct it… or just agree to disagree over a glass of wine.

Enjoy the convenience of shopping with us while getting the same great prices on wine, beer, and liquor as you would at Yokota and Yokosuka bases or Hardy Barracks. Since we source from the same suppliers, we ensure competitive pricing without the need for a base visit. Plus, you’ll save time, avoid the hassle of travel, and still get access to a fantastic selection. Shopping with us is just like going there yourself, only easier!
