Department calls time on wine stock and nets €11k

A stock take of the department’s wines in December revealed that it still had 1,825 bottles with a total value of €60,869.69. That is an average value of just over €33 per bottle.
The list of wines still retained by the department show that, in spite of its role in leading international relations, there is a definite penchant for old rather than new world when it comes to its cellar — more than 1,300 of the bottles are French.
