French wines trade at steep premiums compared to their international counterparts. In 1976, a panel of experts in Paris tasted wines from France and elsewhere side by side to answer the question: are French wines really better? Their answer was a resounding no. Join us in 2026 for the Judgment of Cambridge, where we’ll rerun the experiment with both cheese and wine!

The tasting will be guided by Douglas Page, former president of the University Blind Wine Tasting Society and JCR member, and will feature a thoughtfully curated selection of cheese and wine, along with a variety of other nibbles. Non-alcoholic options will also be available.

This event is free for MCR members and limited to 35 places, so please sign up so we can gauge numbers. See weekly newsletter for sign-up form link.
