Encirc oenologist joins WSTA technical committee

Market leading contract bottler, Encirc Wines, is celebrating after its oenologist, Henry Powles, joined the Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA) technical committee.

Powles, who has been with Encirc since 2012, brings extensive experience assessing wines, as well as his deep understanding of winemaking and the impact varying methods can have on quality.

Powles will now attend the bi-annual meetings and contribute submissions focused on technical matters to dossiers that will be submitted to the UK Government, the European Commission and other bodies.

Speaking about his new role, Henry said: “Joining the WSTA technical committee is a huge privilege and I’m looking forward to being part of a forum that can make such a difference to the UK wine industry.

“Our priority at Encirc is to ensure that the wines we bottle are of the highest quality, and to understand the different factors that can affect a finished product. By highlighting the importance of these issues with key European bodies, we can help ensure the quality benefits are passed on to all levels – from winemakers and bottlers to consumers.”
