Oxford Wine Company’s driving philosophy is ‘small enough to care but big enough to matter’. In that spirit, their response to the wildfires in Australia is fitting and timely. In recognition of what the world’s vintners owe to Australian grapes, they are fundraising for the Australian Red Cross with this special one-off tasting.
Casual wine-lovers and connoisseurs alike can enjoy a range of wines, from the popular Shiraz and Chardonnay to the more boutique, undiscovered fare – safe in the knowledge that all proceeds from the tickets are going to a great cause.
The recent (and ongoing) wildfires in Australia are catastrophic in themselves but are also a warning about the future: if climate change continues at its current rate, scientists predict that fires on this scale, unprecedented up ‘til now, will become a regular feature of the Australian summer. With this in mind, it is understandable that people want to do something to help, but may not know where to start. Fortunately, local businesses like the Oxford Wine Company have stepped in to offer creative solutions that give people an outlet to help, while trying something new. If you want to take part, be sure to book a ticket in advance.
Oxford Wine Company, 167 Botley Road OX2 0PB
