Villeneuve Wines

Listed in The Larder – in the shops now or buy online.

With outlets in Edinburgh, Haddington and Peebles and online ordering, Villeneuve Wines boasts more than 2,000 wines on its list and around 150 malt whiskies, plus high-quality but lesser known sherries and madeira. The management pride themselves on keeping their selection varied and ever-changing, and also buying from smaller suppliers overlooked by larger chains. Tell the staff what you're eating that evening and let them guide you; if you notice a strange glint in their eye it's probably that mixture of pride, hard-won wisdom and a slight headache from having tasted everything in stock.
