There is a very good selection of slightly different beers, with a regularly changing selection. The guys know their beers and I've had countless beers on their recommendations. There is great selection of wine too, and I've had some very nice bottles from there too, again backed with proper knowledge. The shop run beer and wine tastings throughout the year too. One of my favourite shops to visit for a chat and to pick up something new and unusual. If you're feeling adventurous and there is any in stock, try the Mikkeller Texas Ranger. Insane.

The shop is also a good place to go for lunch and offers a good range of sandwiches and other snacks such as crisps and sweets. They offer a meal deal where you can get a sandwich, crisps and a drink all for £3. During exam period the shop stocks up on energy drinks, which I found myself helplessly becoming addicted to; and it was pretty cool that they reduced the cost of Relentless during the exam period to £1. The shop is a real convenience for students who cannot be bothered to venture out of the confines of Pollock Halls and even offers stationary and blocks of lined paper. They also sold fruit, which I don't imagine sold very well seeing as most people stole several pieces of fruit from the JMC canteen!

At most corner shops you expect to pay high prices and you come in and leave disappointed because you've been priced out of a purchase. The deals here, however, are outstanding and some of the offers can compete with some of the big chains. It might be little more than just a corner shop, but still a very good place to buy your groceries.

But, in an area lacking just about everything, we are lucky to have the basic model.

Good for an emergency (like wanting an egg and bacon roll for breakfast over the Christmas holidays, or popping in for a pack of gum so you have exact change for the bus) but not someplace I go to on a regular basis. Maybe one day we'll make the list for an upgrade. #yelpmission

The staff here pride themselves on their knowledge of beer, wine and even spirits, which is something you just can't get at supermarkets like Tesco and Morrisons. If you tell them what kind of beers you like they will always find you one to your tastes that you haven't tried before. Sometimes there are a few wines or beers opened for tasting which help you to find something new. If you are ever in the area and are fancying something other than lager or bog standard red/white wine, take a wee trip in to here and let them open your mind and taste buds to some of the most beautiful beers and wines the world has to offer.

So far, as far as my reviews go, I'd say a fairer description would be 'enthusiastic alcoholic.' That's not true either. Perhaps it's 'enthusiastically decadent.' Peter Green's, as far as I'm concerned, will appeal to any and all who would describe themselves as enthusiastic about wine. Located on the corner of Warrender Park Road and Marchmont Road, just 30 seconds off the south end of Jawbone Walk, Peter Green's has the most amazing and delicious range of wines and beers ever. One wine that has had my heart stolen for a while, is Cairn O'Mohr (care no more, get it? I'm not actually sure whether it's a play on words or not, but I'd like to think it is). This wine's made on the Black Isle (waaaaaay north in Scotland). And it's made out of delicious things like elderberries and elderflower and autumn and spring oak leaf! And it tends to confuse people, as they mostly don't think Scotland could ever produce anything wine-like. And the people who work at Peter Green's are the epitome of lovely. The main man is Michael, though I spent years thinking he was Peter Green. The Peter Green. I think, in my head, he still kind of is. If you fancy giving someone something fanciful, then go there. If you want to give yourself something fanciful, go there. Or, just go there.

Although not much of a wino myself, I do like a tipple now and then and when I used to live in Marchmont I'd come here quite frequently. I know it's a bit pricier than Scotmid, but you get a much better wine normally, and I'd prefer to give my money to these kind of shops anyway. Walking inside is like stepping back to a Dickensian era store, with bottles piled from floor to ceiling like a boozehound's heaven. I immediately had no idea what wine to get, being bewildered by the choice, so had a bit of a chat with the owner who was more than happy to steer me in the right direction. I ended up very happy with my selection and after polishing it off later, even happier. This is a really good shop, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good bottle of wine. It's slightly more expensive than the supermarkets but a much nicer experience, both in the shop and at home sampling your purchases
