Everyone loves a quiz. Imagine the two worlds colliding in a fun evening of wine tasting and wine knowledge questions. Separated into teams, you&#8217;ll taste six wines blind, but fear not. Our host is on hand to guide you through the art of tasting while handing out helpful hints and tips. During the tasting you&#8217;ll hear stories and tales from around the world of wine whilst also answering questions about this vast subject. The world of wine is a large, mysterious and occasionally absurd place. The quiz element will cover all these areas, from the obvious to the obscure. But that&#8217;s all part of the fun. With a prize for the winning team, as well as the much more important bragging rights, this is a whistlestop tour around the exciting world of wine.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-3 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-2 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-person layout_circle\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><div class=\"w-person-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1022\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screenshot_20220114-164248_Instagram.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Lee Isaacs\" itemprop=\"image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screenshot_20220114-164248_Instagram.jpg 1022w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screenshot_20220114-164248_Instagram-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oxfordwine.co.uk\/owc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screenshot_20220114-164248_Instagram-24x24.jpg 24w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1022px) 100vw, 1022px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"w-person-content\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-10 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h4>Your Host &#8211; Lee Isaacs Dip.WSET<\/h4>\n<p>Lee has been around wine from a young age and at the age of 18, he turned down a place at university to join the wine trade. 20 years later he has built a background in independent wine retail and education.
