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 in the wine industry and is known for revolutionizing wine shopping at Somerfield. When her employer insured her taste buds for £1 million, she made headlines nationwide. After leaving Somerfield, 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 – many other industries too – given the ongoing crisis dynamics that have changed consumer shopping habits forever." She continued: "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."
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) & Co-Founder Santiago Navarro praised Mount's reputation as one of the most famous supermarket wine buyers: "While it can be said that she is most famous for having a tongue worth £1 million," he noted, "her three small books on industry connections; her insatiable desire for good wines available to everyone in supermarkets; and her concern for our planet's health make her an ideal business advisor." He concluded: "We look forward to working with Angela to better understand how our innovations support sustainable development on British supermarket shelves."
