aimer = love or like?I used to be on Duolingo, and whenever this question came up, the experts always said "aimer means love for people&pets, like for things". Laura Lawless' article agrees, with examples like "Aimes-tu le tennis? Oui, j'aime ça - Do you like tennis? Yes, I like it". But this lesson has aimer=love even for things. What am I to believe?

For some reason I thought "en" was used when referring to ideas or non-descript things? I know en is used to replace things with "de/du/de la" but...I thought it was also used to replace ideas, things, etc.

How do you say a "half-bottle" of wine?In the US we call the 375ml-sized bottle a "half-bottle." Is there an equivalent in French that does not mean "half a bottle" but refers to the size of the bottle?
