Selling Wine and Honey Trading Issues
I have bumped into two issues yesterday and have decided to post about them in here.

The first issue is that I can't sell wine in my luxury markets. I have around 240 bottles of wine (220 people in the city) and I know it is definitely a luxury good. It simply doesn't appear as an option when clicking on the empty box in the menu. Only Herbs and Honey is available. However I can select wine in that empty box in the menu of the Tavern. Still not sure if any was sold, haven't tested it yet. And I have unlocked the third and final trading route... By the way, there was another issue I had with unlocking the final route. I had to give 20 bread items for the route to be unlocked. But even when I had them in my inventory (and in the granary) and even when I had 40 of them, the route was simply in red - unavailable, like the condition is not met. I let it go and continued playing for quite some time (two days, maybe it took around 4-6 real hours of a gameplay) and then the route became available to be unlocked. But I am not sure what has triggered it to allow me to unlock it.

Well, let's get back to the initial issue. That route allows me to buy honey. I have a granary of course and I have selected honey and have selected the green arrow button (to buy item) and have done the same in the trading panel.
But after two hours of gameplay, no honey was delivered. The number stayed 0 and I am not sure why. I am not sure whether it is related to every trading item of that route or it is honey (and herbs) only. But I confirm that buying and selling items from/for the first and second trading route works as expected.

So, I can't sell wine and can't buy honey. Also I can't unlock the last trading route without hickups. Please have a look at this. Thanks in advance.

It is intended that wine can only be sold in the tavern. Therefore the tavern needs a part of the building with the function of the lounge and one with the function of the bar. If available the citizens will buy a meal at the same time. This is produced in the kitchen and does not satisfy a need but only increases the profit.

There is a difference between a product that is in stock and one that is actually available. If the good is already in the market or has already been reserved by a market worker then it is no longer available.
To work around this problem you can open the resource list and press the stockpile button next to the resource. This will prohibit the use of the resource and you can be sure that it is available for you to use.
Of course you have to deactivate it as soon as you have unlocked the trade or your people will starve.

If the trade does not work then make sure that the slot of the storehouse/ granary is assigned and accessible. Especially the granary needs more space than expected (this will be fixed in the preview).
If you have bought a lot of honey in the past, the seller may not have any more in stock and you will have to wait until he has produced more.

Thank you for your reply, Zoid. I think that could be the case with the bread. And I understand now that selling wine in the market is not possible. However I never ever had honey imported. I will test it at some point soon and will drop an update here.
