Fine wine on the menu for the officials who dine for their country

A good wine collection is invaluable when trying to keep up good relations with the neighbours, you know.

Stored deep within the bowels of the Department of Foreign Affairs lies a significant collection of wines from around the world and, while it’s not an extravagant list, it does contain a few corkers.

Ranging from €8.48 bottles of Il Padrino rosso wine from Italy to some bottles of bold French Burgundies costing over €70, the collection is there for our top officials to entertain foreign guests when they come to visit.
