'supermarket passage' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'alcohol is stored' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'is' is within the answer.
'alcohol' could be 'ale' (type of beer) and 'ale' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'inside' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
