Oxford University Wine Circle The Oxford University Wine Circle (OUWC), founded in 1962, is the oldest wine society in the University of Oxford. The society organizes frequent tastings and tasting dinners for its members and their guests, and in the course of over six decades the Wine Circle has hosted many of the reference-point estates from the wine world. While the Wine Circle is a sociable group, the emphasis at meetings is on the wines themselves: as a former President, Tom Bromwich, notes: "It's certainly not pretentious - most people, including me, have always liked wine and just want to know more about it." Along with members of the more recently established Oxford University Wine Society and the Oxford Blind Tasting Society, members of the society often participate in blind tasting competitions. A team including members of the Wine Circle took first place in the SPIT Competition at Champagne Bollinger in April 2011. Notable former members include Jeremy Seysses of Domaine Dujac , Arabella Woodrow MW, Jasper Morris MW and Alex Hunt MW. Until the mid-2000s, the OUWC ran the Oxford blind tasting training and oversaw team selection for the Varsity Match and there are numerous wine professionals who discovered their love and talent for tasting wine while preparing to compete against Cambridge such as: Oz Clarke and Charles Metcalfe. The Varsity Blind Tasting Match is the oldest organised blind tasting competition in the world (created by Harry Waugh in 1953) and Champagne Pol Roger UK has sponsored the Match since 1992.
