The G20 summit's tipple

While watching last night's Daily Show, I discovered that the wine drunk by delegates at the G20 summit cost £500 a bottle.

Nice to know our leaders are identifying with the millions of ordinary people struggling to pay the mortgage or facing poverty.

MySinchew's Tay Tian Yan says:

They were served with flourishing food, causing resentment of new leftists who accused them for wasting resources of the earth. It is worth it if luxurious food can inspire the leaders' creativities and abilities.
The best food to eat to keep the brain healthy include fish, almonds, spinach and Brussels sprouts. I doubt that a dinner made from these ingredients would cost much to produce.

SmallGovTimes reports that the menu included eggplant fondue, and rack of lamb (although unlike some news sources, they estimate the wine's cost at $300 a bottle).

No nuts then, apart from those present.
