Isle of Mull Scotland, off license?

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if I'd be able to pick up a bottle of Champagne while I'm on the Isle of Mull in September. I'm staying in Tobermory but I wondered if there was a traditional liquor store (off license) in the town or if I should consider buying champagne in Oban before I depart for Mull?
Thanks

The deli is an offy. No problems, and lots of choice.

thanks Sheila,
you wouldn't happen to know if there's any sort of flower shop there too? : ) I saw a listing for a florist but they were in Oban and I'm just wondering about getting some flowers (whatever's in season) locally beacuse we're getting married while in Tobermory.
thanks for the deli recommendation.

There are at least 2 green grocers that have cut flowers. Also - I think there is a gift shop that is also a florist - but I can't remember the name of it. You won't have any trouble finding flowers or Champagne on Mull.

However............if you're looking for something special in the line of flowers or a buttonhole or something, I'd get your hotel to organise it, since I think it will need to come from Oban

thanks for the advise about flowers and champy. I've never been to Mull and from what I'm reading it sounds more remote than it probably is. I think I was a bit scared when I read in a guidebook that there was only one bank, but they had an ATM van that drove around the island occationally! Living in Chicago that sounds really remote, but I'm sure it's like any other small community. : )
thanks again
