Good Morning,

I am writing to respond to your Freedom of Information request to Churchill College.

Unfortunately, the College does not differentiate between wine and port in our figures, so we are only able to provide you with one figure to encompass both. Furthermore, we do not have a specific budgetary figure for this expenditure and the data presented is, therefore, our actual spend for 2017-2021.

The attached spreadsheet details the cost of wine and port used by the College in the relevant calendar years for Conference business and College events such as matriculation and graduation dinners. These figures include the cost of the wine served for Fellows Dining (High Table) but the Fellows/alumni are all charged and pay personally for this.

If you are not satisfied with the way in which this request has been handled, please address your complaint to the Bursar, Churchill College. If the College is unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner (https://ico.org.uk/).

Yours sincerely,

Lex Atkins
