00:03 Hello.

00:04 So today we are going to Winterfest at George Square.

00:08 So it's this year's Christmas market.

00:10 They've been on for a few days now.

00:12 We tried to go on Saturday, but the queue was literally

00:15 right around George Square.

00:17 So we decided to come back today on a Tuesday

00:19 when people are at their work.

00:20 It's way a bit more quieter.

00:22 I mean, there's rides, there's food, there's Christmas lights.

00:27 So we're going to go get festive.

00:38 So this is tonic mulled wine.

00:49 This is Eldorado's wine.

00:52 So it's Scotland's own tonic wine.

00:55 You may have heard of Buckfast or something like that

00:57 as maybe a more popular choice.

01:00 But Eldorado is Scotland's very own tonic wine.

01:03 Excellent.

01:09 I think tonic wine is just so sweet.

01:12 It tastes like cozy Christmas night.

01:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:22 So we are currently at the top of the big wheel.

01:45 I think we're going to have to go round a few times

01:47 before the first one's on.

01:48 On this course anyway, how are you feeling?

01:52 Spectacular views.

01:54 Spectacular time.

01:57 Spectacular place.

01:59 It's a really nice view of Glasgow to be fair.

02:01 There's buildings across there I've never, ever seen inside

02:04 before.

02:05 You can see all the people getting ready to leave work,

02:09 putting their backpacks on.

02:12 Yeah, a real Christmas market.
