Wines
Hi, there
What would you say in this situation?
if I am shopping for wine and I say (while pointing at the bottles): "Can I get two bottles of the red kind from/in/by that brand? "? or "Can I get two bottles of that brand in the red kind?", would that sound odd? What could I say instead?
I am talking about red wine
Thank you very much!

"Could I get two bottles of Pinot Noir from that vineyard?"

It would be better to know the specifics, so you are getting what you expect. As a wine-lover, both of those sentences would have me looking for more information! :)
If two reds from Quail Ridge include Merlot and Pinot Noir, but you are fine with two Merlots, then that would have to be explained.
If it's just general, you could just say "Can I please get two bottles of red from Quail Ridge?" The clerk will inevitably ask: "Yes, the same variety or two different varieties?" Then you can say, "Two different varieties: Merlot and Pinot Noir, please," or "One variety. Both Merlot, please."

In the United States, we would not say "in the red kind" with regard to wine. The typical response would be," Can I get two bottles of red wine of (or with) that brand?" or "Can I get two bottles of red with that brand?" We often say "red" with regard to wine without saying "wine."
Many might also say "in that brand." That's common too.
