48a Frederick Street
VISIT US IN STORE
Our exciting boutique wine store brings a refreshing and uniquely individual wine buying experience to Edinburgh city centre for the first time. After opening in June 2022, we were awarded Best Regional Wine Shop in Scotland at the 2023 Decanter Retailer Awards.
The new Frederick Street store design is in sharp contrast with our original shop established well over 200 years ago by Robert Cockburn. The interior is bright and light with a modern contemporary feel and commissioned wall art, whilst our wines are imaginatively lit and displayed to enhance your shopping experience with us.
Our wine ranges are expertly selected with you in mind, and we hope you will enjoy browsing through our innovative selection in-store and online. Our focus is always on quality with fine selections from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rhône, as well as the hand-picked classics from around the world you would expect to find in a great wine merchant.
We also offer a carefully selected range of premium spirits for your enjoyment. Our own label Cockburns of Leith Founders Reserve Blended Scotch Whisky, blended to a unique and distinctive recipe, was a Finalist in the 2023 Scotch Whisky Awards! (SWA)
