Where to buy a bit of booze for an artist (7)

I believe the answer is:

bodegas

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

'where' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is a plural noun.

'buy a bit of booze for an artist' is the wordplay.
'a bit of' suggests taking the first letters.
'booze for' becomes 'o' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'an artist' becomes 'Degas' (painter Edgar Degas).
The first letter of 'buy' is 'b'.
'b'+'o'+'degas'='BODEGAS'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bodegas that I've seen before include "wine shops" , "shops abroad" , "Wine sellers" , "wine-shops" , "Spanish shops" .)
