    We were given vouchers for a food & wine evening for christmas. Our choosen theme was mediterrean…read more All the wine is pre selelted to go with the different courses. On arrival canapes were served and sparking wine dished out. All canapes were divine. Next we were led into the dining room which was the old stables in this old coach house. Our starter of Bouillabaise and monkfish arrived matched wine. To go with our pork main we had a lovely red wine. Unfortunaltley due to a second cold coming on this was the last I could taste of wine. I couldn't even smell it in the first place. stupid cold! Anyways we moved on to sherry, which is appartently dry - yeap cold seems to kill ma tastes buds now. Accomplimenting a french comte and a fig chutney - both tasty. Then the dessert - Baklava and pistachio ice cream - heaven! Sweet dessrt wine but again the taste buds was gone, so it could of been water for all I'd known!! Ok I had the cold but it didn't dampen my mood. I really had a jolly good old time and meet some nce people who were sitting at the same table. Conversation was a flowing and so was the wine! I'd come back again for sure for another theme - without a cold! :D

    We popped in on a whim while on holiday because it was cold and I spied the liquor! We were very…read morepleasantly surprised. The ladies there were very knowledgeable, answering any and all questions we had, and offered samples as well! Who knew? The liquors we tried were all very good, flavorful, rich and definitely lend themselves to experimentation. My favorite was the Gooseberry however we enjoyed the Black Currant as well. Honestly, we didn't try one thing that wasn't exceptional. The down low is that if you use or enjoy oils, vinegars, or liquors, you really should stop in. Small batches of all these items. You get great information while trying before you buy. Bring back your bottles for discounted refills! We ended up making a purchase as a gift and some to fly home with. We most definitely will go back on all of our return trips.

    I stumbled upon Demijohn by mistake and then entered the establishment with the express intention…read moreof not buying anything at all. What. A. Fail. Demijohn is a so-called 'liquid deli' on Victoria Street, right off the Grassmarket, which is, in my most humble opinion, the place for quirky shopping. It's also the area that will have your money flying out your pockets before you've had the chance to figure out what's going on. So, my flatmate and I stumbled into the shop, dazzled by the large curvaceous bottles on display in the shop window. These are the kind of bottles that look like they belong in an apothecary or in a giant's chemistry lab. All we wanted to do, in that very naive way of ours, was to have a few tasters of the delicious, decadent looking alcohol. The woman who worked there was very kind and patient, and not at all put off by our excited yelps at all the different delicious liqueurs and spirits that swam in the bottles, which were many times the size of our heads. Me, I'm a fan of port. I know some people find it sickening, but I'll choose port over dessert (almost) any day. I also love elderberries. Demijohn, would you believe, has elderberry port! We were sold. Apart from deliciously fruity liqueurs, whisky and sloe gin, Demijohn also has an array of olive oils and vinegars that look to die for. The deal with this place is that you have to buy a bottle. The apothecary kind. The prices range from 10 pounds up, depending on the size of the bottle. Then, you try the different delectable boozes, point excitedly at the one you crave, and get your bottle filled. Not only do you get tasty liquids from this process, but a pretty snazzy vessel for it too. You can come back and refill your bottle at any time so that you don't have to spend money on another. Demijohn is just plain awesome. I highly recommend stopping by to have a look. At your own risk, that is.

    If only more off licenses were like WoodWinters…read more... An independent business run by passionate wine and whisky lovers, WoodWinters is beautifully laid out with crates of wine and liquor on polished wooden floorboards. There's a staggering array of fine red, white and rose wines and a small but impressive selection of whisky. Run by knowledgable Scots, there's mini and full size bottles from a variety of national distilleries like Ardbeg, Bowmore, Benrinne, Linlithgow, Dailuaine and Port Ellen. Whilst you can get a good bottle for around £30-£40, they also sell some spectacular 25 and 30 year old whiskies from Rosebank, Tomatin and Glenfarclas. Samples are available but be prepared, you'll have to splash out £150 - £330 if you want to take a bottle home.

This marketing scheme, it's working! Actually, what really works here is the passion and friendliness of the owners, who will chat with you about the wines, the weather and everything in between, who clearly care enough about their wares to learn all about them and to recommend you a wine that might be entirely different from everything you're tasting. The selection is great, from lower-priced wines that don't taste like low-priced wines to the top-shelf stuff. There's also whisky, brandy and port, some ales and a few local liquors. Oh, and they do stamp cards! I was won over after one tasting. It's not even remotely in my neighborhood, but you bet I'll be back for my future wine purchases (working up to that free bottle)!

Really…read more We recently moved to the Easter Road area and were really glad when we found out we're a stone's throw from an excellent independent offie like Cornelius. As we're both fans of craft beer (I know, how clichéd of us), we delight in the wide variety sold here, and the changing selection keeps us on our toes. As we've been dying to visit Glasgow's Drygate, we were really pleased to find bottles of Drygate's finest for sale recently, giving us the option to dry their infamous apple ale without the journey west. But it's not just the beers that keep us on our toes. Cornelius has a great selection of wines, and some very reasonably priced ones too including a 'wine of the week'. I'd rather spend that pound more to get something delicious here than save myself pennies at the supermarket. The best thing of all though is the staff. One guy in particular is hugely knowledgeable, and very friendly and helpful. He's happy to recommend a wine to go with our salmon for tea, he's eager to talk up interesting new beers they've got in, and if you say "well I like this one, what's similar?" he'll be on it with a recommendation and have pressed a bottle of something exciting into your hand before you've even finished your sentence. In short, we love Cornelius!

    This is my happy place, I mean like seriously happy…read more.. I still remember my first bottle (okay, bottles...) which I still have (albeit currently empty!) several years on. They were a gift from my awesome boss - two stacked bottles of 250ml each, one of raspberry vodka and the other containing elderflower vodka, both bottles inscribed with "Kath's Cocktail Party", wrapped creatively in tissue and cellophane and tied with natural raffia - and that was me, caught hook, line and sinker by the wonderfulness that is Demijohn. Demijohn get their name from their selection of huge Demijohn bottles, massive big round bottles containing litre upon litre of luscious liqueurs...The shop itself isn't large but that doesn't mean lack of choice...I usually lose an hour of my day easily when I go in there and every time end up doing eeny-meeny-miny-mo to make my choice lol. They offer vodkas, gins (Seville orange a favourite of mine, oh and blackcurrant (it tastes like grown-up Ribena!)), whisky's and even oils and vinegars (though I don't tend to look at that side of the shop ;-) ) so there really is something for everyone. The best thing is, you can try before you buy so make sure you go without a car! There is a variety of different sized bottles to choose from (these are priced separately to the liqueurs but once bought, you can bring your empties back time and time again to refill and only pay for the liqueur!), some which stack on top of each other, some which lock side by side so if you can't decide on just one liqueur then this is the way to go! I always think contrasting colours look best, just saying... Bottles can then be inscribed with a personal message making them a gorgeous gift idea for birthdays, weddings, dinners, actually do you even need a reason!? Oh and one last thing, don't go diluting them with tonic et al, neat over ice is by far the best way to enjoy these beauties :-D

I've…read moreactually been into Demijohn a few times but have never committed to buying until last week. Normally I get a bit too overwhelmed, look around for a few seconds and then leave again. Not this time though! If you're not sure what Demijohn is all about, it's a shop which sells some lovely spirits, oils, vinegars as well as jam and chutney. I was in looking for a gift for friends for a housewarming and the customer service was great - the guy talked me through what is popular just now (Seville gin!) and suggested a nice gift rack with three mid-sized gins (the Apotheker 200ml rack). They'll even do a custom message on the bottles if you like. Sure, it's a little pricey but a great place to buy a gift for yourself or someone else. Well worth a visit. I believe they'll also let you have some samples although I wasn't offered any on this visit (sad times).
