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 helping shoppers revolutionize their wine choices while at Somerfield, where she made headlines when her employer insured her taste buds for £1 million.
After leaving Somerfield, Mount took on roles as a wine consultant, author, and TV presenter before collaborating with independent merchants and restaurants. She expressed excitement about joining Garçon Wines' innovative team: "Now is an important time for innovation and sustainability. The dynamics of our industry - like many others - have changed dramatically due to ongoing crises; consumer shopping habits have undergone permanent changes." Flat bottles not only provide more storage space on shelves and in store areas but also ensure easier transportation with less breakage risk.
Mount will support new ideas that challenge norms and bring fresh vitality to the market. Santiago Navarro, CEO & Co-founder of Garçon Wines said: "If there's one celebrity among supermarket wine buyers, it's Angela without doubt." Although she may be most famous for her £1 million tongue-insurance policy,"her three books about connecting within the industry,"her insatiable passion for good wines accessible to all supermarket customers,"and concern for our planet's health make her an ideal business advisor."
"We look forward to working with Angela better understanding how our innovations can contribute to sustainable development on British supermarkets' wine shelves."
