Weaver Wines

Wow, another caged wine shop? I only just visited my first one (GG Brothers on Argyle Street) and now I’ve visited a second one in a matter of weeks!
What’s a caged wine shop? Essentially, you walk into the shop and you’re in a cage with all the booze on the other side. Clearly it’s to stop you being able to steal anything and is a slightly surreal feeling when you’re not used to it. Weaver Wines is a bit more classy in that you’re mostly behind glass instead of a cage but the sensation is the same.
I was after a couple of bottles of wine, and a wee treat for myself. Being in a glass box means it can be hard to tell the shop assistant exactly what you want (especially when you don’t speak Spanish) but we got there eventually. They sell Drygate Apple Ale so that was clearly what I was going to get for myself (if there’s a better beer out there, I don’t want to know about it). You can pay by card although there’s a 50p fee which isn’t something you tend to encounter much these days.
Along this street, your other options for booze are mostly supermarkets (Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Co-​Op) although there is an Oddbins on Skirving Street. Prices here seemed pretty reasonable to me.
