The government consumed more than 1,400 bottles of wine and spirits at the taxpayer's expense and topped up its cellar with 27,000 of fresh stock during the two years of the Covid pandemic from 2020 to 2022, new figures show.
The consumption was a drastic drop compared with the 3,000 to 5,000 bottles of wine and spirits usually consumed in a year as the government scaled back its activity during lockdown and the lack of international travel.
