Alcohol shop in Edinburgh

“Hands down one of the absolute most engaging and informative whisky tastings I’ve ever attended. The shop is modestly sized for what they do, and the caliber of quality and professionalism they bring to the table. These folks are bottlers. They are not distillers. Don’t confuse the two. The base of their operations is in Campbeltown. They own tons of barrels of whisky, primarily Scotch singles, but also grains, and other whiskies from around the world. This enables them to oversee the aging themselves. When they are ready to release a particular barrel, they bottle it. They have a phenomenal team of specialists watching over the barrels, because I swear many of their releases were better than what the distilleries are putting out there. What a treat.”

“Lovely little beer shop, surprisingly good selection of wine! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and a great place to sit in for a cosy evening drink”

“Really nice shop, very good selection and advice ! We wanted to bring back local beers and they have a lot of them (Also, there was a very cute dog which is a plus ❤️)”

“Very nice and knowledgable shopkeepers. Was looking for a bottle of Glayva which was out of stock. Got recommended the Loch Fyne Acacia Honey and was offered a taste-test.”

“Very polite and welcoming staff. Had the pleasure to taste the whisky before purchasing it. Not just the barrels that were available in the shop. But other unique ones. Highly recommended to anyone who likes whisky. If you are new or old whisky lover this is the best place to go. You will find your favorite even if you don’t know it yet! Will be revisited next time when visiting Edinburgh.”

“Great wee handy shop. Friendly staff and always have some nice treats if you want. I usually go in for milk and end up getting some other stuff”

“We had the honor of hosting Stephen for a private whisky tasting after our wedding ceremony on 13/5/23 evening. Not only was he full of amazing whisky facts, he was also very professional and relaxed. We recommend spending any time with Stephen to feel like a true whisky aficionado.”

“Nice storefront, smells lovely (can't remember a store smelling nice!) and, of course, lovely selection of malt whiskies - if you have the money then it's a nice place to visit. Of course online may provide cheaper sources of your whisky however if you want rare items (or retailer exclusives) then I can't think of a nicer place to be in”

“Still the same wee shop that has bits n bobs. Sells CBD Vape proper CBD, also they sell Takis crisps which are hard to find in any other shops around the area. The staff are nice and it's a respected shop in the area. It is tiny shop you can't go in with wheelchair but they can assist you.”

“I'm a big fan of whisky. As a whisky lover, I wanted to learn and enjoy a special and rare Scotch whisky with a professional, rather than the famous or common whisky I've had a lot of. I came to this store by searching every whisky store in Edinburgh, reading carefully and choosing a program. Hector explained the detailed history of Scotland's whisky. It was so professional and quite interesting. Five whisky blind tasting allowed me to enjoy my original whisky without sticking to the label. This programs reasonably priced and highly recommended. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who loves whisky.”

“Fantastic store with lovely staff, all extremely knowledjable and with amazing recomendations. My only problem is that since I moved flats I cannot visit as often as I would like to ”

“Amazing liquor store. Wow, of the 10 places we tried, this is hands down the best. The guys (I didn't catch their names) were fantastic. Offered tequila samples which were delicious. Were able to stock up on all different liquors and wines. Just a great selection of everything. I highly recommend!”

“Superb selection of beverages, with knowledgable and friendly owners. We came in for a small bottle of red wine and left with a box of different wines, Prosecco, and sake. Fantastic selection of beer and whiskey too, I noticed.”

“Brilliant, constantly updated beer list plus a very interesting selection of wines and spirits. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff.”

“I love the variety of flavours and the good quality of freshly brewed quas. The packaging design is amazing!”

“Great wee shop friendly staff , well stocked and the lentil soup is great.”

“Always keep an excellent selection of non alcoholic beers. Friendly, passionate about what they do and really know their stuff.”

“Staff were so helpful. Amazing Riesling!”

“Got a south African gentleman who was extremely helpful and insightful about his products, the price is probably one of the best around town for some hidden whisky gems. Had a thoroughly fabulous experience.”

“Had a great experience with them. We found a very rare bottle of the best whiskey I've ever tasted (not telling until the world actually runs out) and worked out some complicated shipping arrangements that required them to stay a bit later than their official hours. I couldn’t be more satisfied with their selection or their service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for any kind of whiskey but especially to people looking for the stuff you usually can't find in ordinary shops.”

“I don't even live nearby anymore and still consider it one of the best in the city, maybe the best. The wine, beer and cider stock is excellent. The wines in particular are very well selected, and the prices are very reasonable.”

“Nice little store with a pretty neat selection of cigars and whiskeys. The employee there was nice and helpful. I told him a cigar I liked and he then recommended me to another to try and it was delicious.”

“Great shop with a fab selection of goods. I visit weekly to post using EVRI machine. Staff always helpful and friendly. Keep up the good work! Thank you!”

“The team here are amazing, especially Harry and Andrew. Sorted all our wedding wine out no bother at all, especially when we needed to get some last minute beers added too. Thank you guys it really helped us out!!”

“Great wee local off license with excellent staff and a great selection of vapes and drinks , would recommend to anyone definitely the best in falkirk and family owned! Support your local businesses guys!”

“Stellar experience. First the wine was very refreshing and simply delicious. The selection and pairings with the food was perfect. Then the food itself was delicate, diverse and sometimes even complex,but always with pleasure and taste as the center. The chef is very skilled, and the whole crew makes for the best hosts. I recommend fully”

“Super helpful staff. Great range of drinks - from high end fine wines, to budget options rivalling supermarket prices. Their own range is good value. Dog friendly too - treats are provided for four legged visitors”

“good range of wine, decent prices, knowledgeable staff”

“For the most part I dislike Stockbridge, finding many places quite pretentious. Vino is one of the exceptions. The staff are exceptional. Friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. Plus they are dog friendly and always have treats ready. Not the cheapest, but the selection is great, and if you really wanted supermarket prices then go to a supermarket. It is a genuine pleasure every time I come here. Couldn't recommend this place higher.”

“Very friendly staff at Vino, combined with their impressive expertise, have made each visit a memorable one. What sets them apart is their ability to provide fantastic recommendations tailored to our budget, ensuring that every purchase is both satisfying and affordable. They also have a diverse collection of local craft beers. As a regular customer, I wholeheartedly recommend Vino to anyone looking for quality libations, excellent service, and a good slection of local products.”
