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. She was once insured for £1 million by her employer, making headlines nationwide.
After leaving Somerfield, she served as a wine consultant, writer, and presenter while collaborating with independent individuals and restaurants. Mount expressed her 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."
Flat bottles not only provide more storage space on shelves and store areas but also ensure easier transportation of samples with reduced breakage risk while minimizing glass usage. "I will always support new ideas," she said, "challenging them to bring fresh vitality to our market."
Santiago Navarro, CEO & Co-Founder of Garçon Wines commented on Mount's appointment: "If there's one celebrity among supermarket wine buyers it's undoubtedly Angela." While famous for her £1 million tongue insurance claim from previous employers (three books on trade connections), her insatiable thirst for good wines accessible to all shoppers within supermarkets combined with concern for planetary health make her an ideal business advisor.
"We look forward to working with Angela," he added, "to better understand how our innovations can contribute to sustainable development within British supermarket shelves' fine wines section."
