The quality of wines in F has been a recurring theme on FT over multiple threads. Not wishing to judge on price only, but recent posts have mentioned some wines retailing at less than £10 a bottle, although each white and red list seems to be headlined by a wine more in the £25-£40 range (thank you Oaxaca). Anyway, this has reminded me of the Concorde Collection, which according to this article in the Scotsman, had 12000 cases of very fine wines, carefully chosen and laid down, and mostly valued in the £50-£120 per bottle price range. The article goes on to say that it was decided not to sell off the collection when Concorde retired, and instead to use the wines in F class.

Does anyone know whether these wines were actually used in F, and is the Concorde cellar now empty? Maybe the current F wine lists could do with a sprinkling of Concorde's stardust.
