wine cellar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stock of liquor' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'gain attention about unit's' is the wordplay.
'gain' becomes 'win' (synonyms).
'attention' becomes 'ear' (having someone's ear is having their attention).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'unit' becomes 'cell' (cell is a kind of unit).
'ear' going around 'cell' is 'ecellar'.
'win'+'ecellar'='WINE-CELLAR'
