Another day, another festival

It's Tuesday which means, of course, that it's about time to start preparing yourself for another Edinburgh festival. This time, it's wine.

The Edinburgh International Wine Festival launches next month. It aims to build on the Scottish capital's long-standing position as one of Europe's leading importers of fine French wine.

Hotel owner James Thomson, one of the founders of the festival, which is sponsored by broadsheet Scotland on Sunday, said he hoped it would give rise to an annual two-day event incorporating wine workshops and tastings.
