From market stall to dot com, we now serve the nation from our original premises in Edinburgh. We are Scotland's oldest Delicatessen and Italian Wine Merchant; one of Europe's original Specialist Food Shops, founded in 1934. From our humble beginnings, serving the fledgling immigrant Italian community in old Edinburgh, we now list food products and wines from around the world, and supply the entir

e UK with an efficient, speedy delivery system that boasts a next-day service to 90% of the population. We are an independent family business - free to place before you new and exciting products together with our more traditional food and wine. Our roots are firmly planted in tradition - our growth is nourished by technology - our future lies in the pursuit of ever increasing quality, value and service in all that we do. In the online shop you will find our own-baked bread, cakes and biscuits, and an extensive range of cheese, champagne, cookery books, coffee, tea, kitchenware, pasta, rice, salami, sausages, oil, vinegar, port, dessert wine, whisky and wine - lots of wine! We hold tastings and cookery demonstrations in our Caffè Bar throughout the year. We also have an on-site gift room and book shop which is converted into a 70 seat theatre during August to become a venue in the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival. Do not hesitate to email us from the contact page with any enquiry or problem. Best wishes and thank you for your custom.

Wine expert and award-winning author, Matthew Jukes recently wrote a glowing review of the Chianti Classico 2023 Isole e Olena.

Matthew is relieved that although ‘under new management…the wines have evolved in a new and fascinating direction, and this brand-new release is utterly incredible’. Matthew predicts that this wine is sure to be appreciated across the UK, not only due to its ‘glorious depth of fruit, incredible balance and sensational precision’, but it’s 'affordability, considering the quality'.

Philip Contini shows us how to do Father’s Day the V&C Way - order by this Wednesday for guaranteed Father’s Day delivery UK wide.

What your Dad needs: very special Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Donnafugata, made with Nocellara olives grown on the slopes of Mount Etna. Medium fruity, well balanced spice, high levels of polyphenols.

What your Dad likes: delicious new red wine Dolcetto di Diano d’Alba from Fratelli Revello. In Philip’s own words, ‘The almost-sweet, forward-fruit intense aromas and primary flavours of the Dolcetto grape are balanced by a pleasant, tangy acidity. This new harvest 2024 wine can be drunk chilled or at cellar temperature. A great summer quaffing red!’

What your Dad really wants: Italian Orange slices enrobed in dark chocolate from Majani….. need I say more!

In season now! Fresh, young, wet garlic from Italy. Try it and see the difference, it is so much more pungent than dried garlic, and get delicate enough you could slice thin and enjoy raw (if you wanted!)

Perfect for an quick Neapolitan tomato pasta sciué sciué - just lightly fry fresh garlic and a dried peperoncino in EVOO, throw in some halved Italian cherry tomatoes, and by the time your spaghetti has boiled, the sauce will be ready! Sciué sciué - hurry hurry!
