"There is a lot of wine."

[Laszlo.Sz]

Is “Je hodně vína” not acceptable?

[VladaFu]

It is acceptable.

[vchslv13]

Shouldn't “Je mnoho vína” be acceptable too in this case?

Is vina in genitive? (I put vino in my answer)

[FrankRiswick]

Yes, it is genitive. The same with dost.

[juliekonungur]

here vina is nom pl? but if it is pl, why not vina jsou hodne?

[BoneheadBass]

Here "vína" is genitive singular, which is required after "hodně," since it's a non-countable noun. But you're right that "vína" is also the nominative plural form of "víno," and that "jsou" would be required if the nominative plural had been used in this sentence.

[cptlangstrumpf]

would "to je hodne vina" sound strange?

[VladaFu]

No, it is a correct Czech sentence, but it is not a correct translation of the English sentence above. It is a translation of "That is a lot of wine."

[J-Luca]

What about: "Tam je hondne vina?"

[VladaFu]

That is: There is a lot of wine THERE.

[chris95041]

I'm wondering why velmi isn't acceptable here. Je velmi vína. Or Vína je velmi.

[VladaFu]

You never use "velmi" like this. It is like "very".

*"We have very of wine." ... impossible

[chris95041]

Got it.
