Winemark

Lots of selection of fine wines and beers also craft beers, now have lotto scratchcards in store, also sell snacks.

On a weekend night you have to buzz the door open in this off-​licence, which is a hint as to what to expect, as if the downbeat area didn’t already indicate.
It’s not easy to find good wine in here, it’s either cheap plonk or more expensive stuff you wouldn’t recognise unless you have a enclyopaedic knowledge of wine.
Still I’m keen to get every ounce out of my local off licence so I resolved to find something especially with the road was smoothed by a shot of promotional peach shnapps they’d given me.
When in doubt about wine to choose I look for prizewinning labels. The only one I found in here was a bottle of Castillo de Molina Sauvigon Blanc, 2009 from the Elqui Valley in Chile, which was a success.
It’s far easier to get beer, cider and spirits in here though. The staff are nice too, and keen to advise on the spirit line especially so when my household needed a bottle of rum or whiskey I came here and went home happily supplied.
