Data! Accountability! Plonk! The whole wine yards
Freedom of information victories are like buses: really great. Fresh from getting HM Treasury to release the Deed of Indemnity that governs how profit and losses from the Bank of England’s asset purchase facility are handled, the Information Commissioner’s Office has come through for FT Alphaville once again. And this time, it’s oenological. Regular readers will hopefully be aware of our extensive coverage of the UK’s Government Hospitality Wine Cellar.
Amazing, there are 107 bottles down there — meaning it might represent a tenth of the cellar’s valuation.— By community value, the Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 1982 takes the biscuit at £8.7k, with a respectable 13 in the cellar. With no further ado, let’s get datavizzay. So, 32,259 bottles with about 32,259 bottles’ worth of liquid. We already knew that French reds held pole position for number of distinct wines — but are they quite so dominant in terms of overall bottles? Yes. Cool, great.
