Jeroboams Q&A: What sommeliers want from on-trade suppliers

“Guests are choosing an occasion as much as a bottle now. A list should feel welcoming, not like a test. If it needs translating, the moment's already lost.” That’s the message from Minas Kotoulas, head of bars at the Woleseley Hospitality Group, as The Buyer continues its series talking to leading hospitality figures, as part of the recent on-trade debate hosted in partnership with Jeroboams Trade . Kotoulas is joined by Clara Rubin, former head of wine at Hawksmoor and now Ocado wine buyer, who together look at how they are driving growth in premium wine and what they are looking for from wine suppliers to help them.
