Coerced into chipping in for Boss’s housewarming gift?! Advice

So this company I work for who has some really shitty managers and even lousier boss, it’s HR woman who also acts as business associate to the CEO is asking us to pitch in xx amount for an expensive bottle of kosher wine( think hundreds) to welcome him to his new house. First of all, with energy prices, childcare costs and all sorts of gruelling expenses and mortgage, I’m being chased via email to cough up the money I ain’t going to do it, I’ll pretend to be dead starving but I’m not exactly articulate and I won’t know how to come up with the right excuse, devoid of vitriol and that won’t get me into trouble. Any ideas ? TA
