Just the thing for.....

English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama listening and comprehension
I'd like to know from you if the actor is saying this: "A great pair of Mackill. Just the thing for groce office".

If he's saying exactly these words, what does GROCE OFFICE mean? Would it be like GROCERY, as they say in the USA?

And I supposed that MACKILL is the brand of the wines, am I right?

Please, I'd like you to help me on this.

Thanks!
