140+ Years Experience

At Aitken Wines we have been supplying the good people of Dundee with the finest wines since 1874 and decided 140 years later it was about time we had somewhere to enjoy them together.

How do the Enomatic machines (wine dispensers) work?

You simply buy a card from us at the bar, topped up to any amount you wish, then pop it in the machine and select your wine. All the wines are available in 25ml, 125ml and 175ml glasses and are dispensed directly from the machines. Our fully trained staff are always on hand to help!

    I had a couple of glasses of Merlot. Nice wine. Great service. I could have enjoyed the food too, I think, but I'd already eaten. Wine list was pretty extensive too including a "ooh. I'm coming back tomorrow for some of that!" Variety.

    This one of the first place my wife and I visit when we are in Dundee, great beers and the wife loves their gins think she tried them all specially the chilli gin lol. We also had food on the Saturday and the pie was fantastic. A great place with really nice staff we will of course visit the wine press again when back in Dundee maybe they could open one where we live.
