Get the whine
Get the whine
(OP)
I got a laugh from an email I received today from a non-native English speaker regarding a quality defect:
"...It is very possible for us to get the whine from [the customer] because of this..."
And he doesn't mean a bottle of vintage red! It might not be how a native speaker would have said it, but the point couldn't have been communicated any better.
Any other examples?

First sit down restaurant I went to in the US the waitress asked me if I wanted soup or salad. I thought I was hearing if I wanted Super Salad. So I said sure! It is big and it comes with your meal for free!
The one that my friends always remember was when I pronounced "electricity". I pronounced it electric-city .

I recently reviewed a FMECA from a vendor where the "Failure Effect" listed for many of the failure modes was "Customer Complaint".

If john Wayne had a wine cellar instead, of whine in the whisky, he'd still be alive today
