The Houses of the Oireachtas is planning to splash out up to €300,000 on its own brand of wine over the next four years.
The bespoke-labelled booze has proven to be a hit since it first went on sale in Leinster House at the end of 2013, selling around 8,000 bottles over the following five years.
A tender was advertised this week, seeking suppliers to provide “entry-level” and “mid-range” wines to be branded with the Houses of the Oireachtas label and sold in its on-site bars and restaurants.
