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 and unlock the potential of flat bottles with her expertise. With a career spanning over three decades in the wine industry, Mount is a well-known figure who has earned accolades for revolutionizing wine shopping at Somerfield. She made headlines when her employer insured her taste buds for £1 million. After leaving Somerfield, she worked as a wine consultant, writer, and presenter while collaborating with independent retailers and restaurants.

Mount expressed her excitement about joining Garçon Wines' innovative team: "Now is an important time for innovation and sustainability in our industry and many others that have been impacted by the current crisis." She noted that consumers are increasingly favoring smaller local shops with limited storage space; tasting events have gone virtual; and people are more mindful of their purchases.

Flat bottles offer additional storage space on shelves and store display areas while ensuring easier transportation with fewer breakages compared to traditional glass bottles. Mount supports new ideas, challenges them, and brings vitality to the market.

Santiago Navarro, CEO & Co-Founder of Garçon Wines said: "If there's one famous supermarket wine buyer out there it's Angela." While she may be most known for her tongue valued at £1 million (three books on industry connections), her insatiable passion for good wines available to everyone in supermarkets alongside her concern for our planet's health make her an ideal advisor. "We look forward to working with Angela to better understand how our innovations can support sustainable development on British supermarket shelves."

The appointment marks another significant step towards Garçon Wines' mission of making premium wines accessible worldwide through creative packaging solutions that save resources without compromising quality or taste experience.
