My Department does not have a wine cellar.

A review carried out on foot of the Deputy's question identified only six bottles of wine. Four bottles are a 2002 Italian Cabernet Sauvignon. They were bought in Mitchell & Son's Wine Merchants in 2004 and the cost was 9.05 euro per bottle. In addition, there are two bottles of a 2003 Australian Shiraz. It is not clear where these were acquired. Wine may be purchased as needs arise.
