Whilst we love a good glass of
bubbly, at the Ideal Wine Company we think the House of Lords went too far
recently, when they vetoed a measure because they believed it could lower the
quality of their champagne.
The House of Lords is No Ideal Wine Company
As buyers and sellers of luxury
drinks for affordable prices, Ideal Wine Company understands the value of
quality champagne. Indeed, we have a range of fine champagnes just for you.
Yet if we were ever given the
power to oversee policy, we don’t think we’d veto one just to protect the
quality of our favourite upscale tipple. The House of Lords, however, is no
Ideal Wine Company.
We Want Our Luxury Champagne!
Believe it or not according to
the Huffington Post, the House of Lords vetoed
a services merger with the House of Commons because they feared that the
quality of their champagne would suffer.
The ridiculous revelation was
disclosed recently by Sir Malcolm Jack, who served as the clerk of the Commons
between 2006 and 2010. Jack informed the Whitehall committee tasked with
exploring the administration of Westminster that the Lords believed that if
they were forced to merge catering services with the Commons, they’d be left
with no choice but to drink cheap sparkling wine.
Catering is an Absolute Classic
When examined later by the
committee’s chair Jack Straw, who asked; what about "the champagne? We
heard a few things yesterday," retired clerk of the house Sir Robert
Rogers had one response:
“No,
I am not going into the quality of the champagne. People are very possessive
about some services. Catering is an absolute classic." This just
emphasised the Lords’ attachment to the £265,770 worth of first class Champagne
the Upper Chamber bought between May 2010 and March 2014.
Feel Like a Member of the Aristocracy
In some ways, we agree with the
Lords. Quality champagne shouldn’t be thrown under the bus. That’s why here at
the Ideal Wine Company, we have a range of luxury
champagne’s for reasonable prices that’ll make you feel as though you’re a
member of the aristocracy!
