导读：Garçon Wines recently appointed Angela Mount, a former Somerfield wine buyer, as its supermarket advisor in the UK. The company aims to maximize space savings and unlock the potential of flat bottles with her expertise. Throughout her career, Mount has worked exclusively in the wine industry and is well-known for her extensive retail experience. She was praised for revolutionizing wine shopping at Somerfield, where she helped consumers discover new wines.

When her employer insured her taste buds for £1 million during her time at Somerfield, she made headlines nationwide. After leaving the company, she served as a wine consultant, writer, and presenter while collaborating with independent individuals and restaurants. Mount expressed excitement about joining Garçon Wines' innovative team: "Now is an important time for innovation and sustainability in our industry—and many others—as consumer habits have changed forever due to current crises."

She continued: "Flat bottles not only provide more storage space on shelves and store display areas but also ensure easier transportation of samples with reduced breakage risk and minimized glass usage." Mount vowed to support new ideas that challenge traditional practices in their market.

Santiago Navarro, CEO and co-founder of Garçon Wines said: "If there's one famous supermarket wine buyer out there—Angela certainly stands among them." While it's true that she gained fame from insuring her tongue for £1 million (£10 million), it was her unquenchable thirst for good wines accessible to everyone in supermarkets combined with concern for Earth's health that made him believe she'd be an excellent business advisor.

"We look forward to working with Angela," he added. "Her insights will help us better understand how our innovations can contribute to sustainable development on British supermarket wine racks."
