(Decanter) - Thousand-pound bottles of Domaine de la Romanee Conti, as well as Chateau Margaux, Cheval Blanc, Cos d'Estournel and other fine wines were served last year at official functions, according to a statement released by the Foreign Office last week. English wines had a decent run at UK government hospitality functions, with English still and sparkling wine accounting for 36% of bottles uncorked in the year to the end of March 2012, with 2,400 bottles of Chapel Down's Bacchus 2010 purchased for receptions.
