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, writer, and presenter while collaborating with independent individuals 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 significantly due to current crises; consumers' shopping habits have undergone permanent changes." Flat bottles not only provide more storage space on shelves and in store display areas but also ensure easier and more reliable transportation of samples, minimizing breakage while reducing glass usage.
Mount will always support new ideas, challenge norms, and bring fresh vitality to our market. Santiago Navarro, CEO & Co-Founder of Garçon Wines said: "If there's one celebrity among supermarket wine buyers it's Angela without a doubt. While it can be said that she's most famous for her tongue being insured for £1 million (£2 million total), it's really her three books about industry connections that never satisfy herself with all good wines available to everyone in supermarkets plus concern for our planet's health that makes her the perfect business advisor."
The company looks forward to working with Angela to better understand how their innovations contribute to sustainable development on British supermarket wine shelves.
