I do expect restaurants to offer wine. Around here at least. But I have also mapped restaurants in e.g., Jordan and Morocco where you would not expect restaurants to have wine. Those that do serve wine should be tagged with drink:wine=served.

I do not think it is just for McDonalds. Here in Copenhagen there are some Pizza joints that have a couple of small tables, and sometimes a few more outside in the summer. They have no service, cutlery, napkings or anything and are mostly used by customers waiting to pick up a pizza. Put once in a while you see people eating there. -- Niels Elgaard Larsen _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
