But when it comes to booze, I could go on all day. In a city where cocktails are questionable and scotch is king, Good Spirits Co is a gasp of fresh air to a drowning man. Not unlike Gerry's in Leeds/Soho or Astor Wines in NYC, this shop offers enough variety and substance to satisfy most any liquor lover. Beyond a product selection that could leave me browsing the shelves for hours, the staff is knowledgeable (and trying to become even more so!), welcoming, and the space is noteworthy in its own right. Ask about the cashier's counter sometime - it's a piece to be pondered and appreciated. I'm excited about the forthcoming tasting room to come, and hope that local Glaswegians come to admire and adore this liquid gold outlet for the treasure it already is.

This is a little shop that AllyG has been talking about visiting for years. Finally on Saturday we…read moregot the chance to pop in. What a treat for us. The shop can only be describes as a treasure trove for all things Whisky, Cigar and tobacco. Not being smokers I can't really talk too much about the smoking products but there seemed to be an extensive collection and they have a humidor located at the back of the shop. The whisky selection was absolutely brilliant, with lots of bottles I had never seen before. I could have stood and looked at the range for hours but my attention was immediately pulled to their small selection of gins and wines. Deciding to treat myself to a little bottle I started looking at the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. After picking up a tasty looking little number a member of staff saw me looking at it and said it was the only wine Victoria Beckham drank and it was very difficult to find in Glasgow - SOLD! Who cares if it's true of not I still feel now that VickyB and I are now destined to be BFFs. As you would expect in this type of shop the staff are incredibly knowledgable and helpful. A great little shop selling brilliantly interesting things - I will definitely be back soon to stock up again.

Fun fact: in Australia, we call them a bottle-o and there are even drive through ones. Anyway. This one is a typical Oddbins with its kind of rustic style and interesting selections. Sadly I picked poorly in my rosé as it wasn't the nicest but I don't blame Oddbins for that. They had a good beer range and I picked up some Fyne Ales Jarl & Sanda Blonde. All up it came to £17 which I was pretty happy with and the guy working was friendly and chatty. This is in a handy spot just off the motorway or if you're heading out for dinner around the area. While I wouldn't go out of my way to return here I would definitely pop in if I was in the area.

The staff are very friendly and always give you a genuine smile as well as all the please and thank you's. It might not sound like much, but it does make a different if you're shopping in somewhere a few times a week (and usually on the way home after a long and rather bad day). It's also stocks a good enough range of cheap (ish) alcohol. So you can pick up pretty much all the little bits and pieces you might need. Though, beware it does shut slightly earlier than the other newsagents around here, probably around the 8pm mark. Hence, if you're making a quick carry out dash don't even think of trying here.
