Details of the British government's wine cellar were released by foreign-office official Henry Bellingham in response to a parliamentary question. The total value is estimated to be £864,000.

The taste is conservative, and it seems unlikely that Prime Minister Cameron will be buying any of the strangely named wines now coming from the New World. Chaos Theory, for example, is made by Brown Estate Vineyards in the Napa Valley. "It's about discovering order in seemingly random events," Coral Brown, who runs the winery founded by their parents, told CNN. "We've got a lot of meteorologists and economists who are big fans of the wine," she said — "anybody who really is into the unpredictable nature of things."

Educated Guess is made by the Roots Run Deep Winery, also in Napa Valley. A bottle of wine, says winery owner Mark Albrecht, is the result of lots of decisions: where to plant, when to pick, how to age, where to age. "Winemaking truly is an educated guess. There's no right or wrong to it," says Albrecht.

Jerry Prial decided to call his wines Debauchery. They're imported from Chile, and he picked the name as a response to the wine world's "mysterious and intimidating" culture.
