IT IS time to raise your glasses for Oxford's annual celebration of wine.

Discover a hidden gem or uncover an old favourite at this year's Oxford Wine Festival.

There will be guided tasting sessions, artisan food and live music at Oxford Union on September 8 and 9.

Each ticket includes 10 wine samples, and wines can also be purchased by the glass or by the bottle when you find that one that hits the spot.

Tickets and more information are available via oxfordwinefestival.org.
