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 previously recognized for helping consumers at Somerfield revolutionize their wine purchases when she insured her taste buds for £1 million, earning headlines nationwide.
After leaving Somerfield, Mount served 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 within our industry – like many others – have changed dramatically amidst this crisis whirlpool; consumer shopping habits have undergone permanent changes."
Mount emphasized that flat bottles not only provide more storage space on shelves and in store areas but also ensure easier and more reliable transportation of samples while minimizing breakage and reducing glass usage: "I will always support new ideas, challenge them, and bring fresh vitality to our market."
Santiago Navarro, CEO & co-founder of Garçon Wines said: "If there's one celebrity supermarket wine buyer out there who deserves recognition alongside Angela Mount it's certainly no other person." He noted that although she might be most famous for insuring her tongue at £1 million value (three books on industry connections), never-ending thirst for good wines available to everyone in supermarkets combined with concern over Earth's health make her an ideal business advisor.
"We look forward to working with Angela to better understand how our innovations can contribute to the sustainable development of British supermarkets' wine racks," concluded Navarro.
