Do you sell wine on tap?
VEN-de VI-no ZFU-zo
Asking whether a market vendor sells wine by the litre in bulk, to be taken in your own container.
Vino sfuso (bulk wine) is sold in many Italian markets and specialist shops (sfuserie). Customers bring their own demijohns (damigiane) or bottles, which are filled at the tap. Prices are typically 1–3 euros per litre. The tradition is strongest in wine-producing regions like Lazio, Veneto, and Emilia-Romagna.

The Castelli Romani hills south of Rome have supplied the city with sfuso wine since Roman times. The area's volcanic (tufo) soil produces crisp, light whites ideal for everyday drinking. Vino sfuso remains a living tradition in Lazio's local markets.
