Could you tell me something that has intrigued me recently, why do men wink at woman.

Winking at people is said to be a universal sign, that you are interested in the other person.  Apart from Japan, where winking is said to be offensive to women because it signals that you want to get raunchy with a woman (which is probably what it means in the UK, expect most women do not find it offensive).

Most people both men and women are said to wink very briefly for a split second when they first see somebody they fancy.  But this wink takes place so fast, that it is not normally visible, unless you catch it on video camera and slow the tape down.

In your case, this guy has been very openly winking at you and trying to make it clear that he is winking at you.  Therefore it is a conscious wink and I would suspect he is trying to signal interest in you without getting too close to scare you.  He is basically saying I want to get to know you more, so come and see me, but I don't want to scare you off by coming too close.

If a bloke approaches a woman too soon, it often puts her off, and gives her the creeps or makes a man look desperate.  This guy is winking to signal his interest, which is brave but not having to be as brave as approaching you.  He is basically using his body language to signal interest rather than his voice.

There is this one guy (an acquaintance really) who i get on well with, yes there has been some flirting in the past but recently he has been winking at me a few times. I know a wink doesn't always mean that he likes you.

I would say winking only takes place when a man fancies a woman or when a man or a woman is signalling that they are friends.  In your case I doubt it is the friends option, because you don't know each other well enough yet, to be considered long term/close friends.

But something he has never done before the most recent one after holding eye contact with me (Can't remember who looked first) for longer than is necessary.

Eye contact, very positive and just re-affirms the fact that he fancies you.

when i went to leave he reached out to touch my arm and then he winked.

Pretty obvious what this means!

Guess my real question is how do i know if the wink is because there is some shared secret or if he fancies me

I reckon from what you have said, he does fancy you.  I don't go around winking at any women that I don't fancy. So you'll just have to take my word for it.
