text: As you probably know, Edinburgh can be quite upmarket compared to other similarly sized cities, and the proliferation of wine shops or \"vintners\" as I think is the correct term, is perhaps a sign of this. It seems to permeate even to the tramps, as I've noticed discarded bottles of Blossom Hill both in the alcove at Fleshmarket Close and outside Waverley steps. A couple of weeks ago I was also asked for spare change by a hobo who was both better spoken and more smartly dressed than myself.\n\nAnyway, I digress, Edinbuggers love their wine, and while this store isn't in itself the most upmarket or well stocked, the fantastic pirate-themed name always makes me smile.
