It's the grocery store # 1 for wine

Albertsons has won the prestigious title for its specific offers.


It's been a year of celebrating for Albertsons Cos. The grocer based on Idaho, which has more than 2,200 national food and pharmaceutical stores, beat Wall Street forecasts to reportIncreased sales of two figures in the second quarter. In August, Albertsons wasappointed "Retailer of the year" bySupermarket News. Now the company is being beinghonored with the same title byEnthusiast.

There were several reasons why Albertsons was considered the first destination of wine, beer and spirits among the grocers in the 2020 Star wine prices. The chain, which includes brands such as Shaw's, Safeway, Jewel Osco and Haggen under its umbrella, distinguished by its competent staff, as well as its selection of wines and its presentation. (In touch:8 groceries who can soon be in the short diet.)

Albertsons "has invested in the formal training of associates so that they can better meet the needs of the wine and spirits of customers", according toEnthusiast. And credit titles attach to the Curtis Mann, Vice President of the Albertsons, Beer and Spirits Group, is one of only 53 people in the United States to hold the coveted masters the title of the wine.

One of the most interesting characteristics of the wine region of the chain is perhaps the embrace of regionality. Albertson's local wine teams have autonomy to reconcile a representative selection of local tastes, which means that the Washington-centered offerings in Seattle are distinct from the selection of Paso-Forward roles in southern California.

"Albertsons gives local shops a considerable autonomy in what they offer"Enthusiast said in hisannouncement. "This knowledge and expertise of the local drinks scene are then exploited nationally to ride and conduct trends."

The grocer is increasingly winning from customers in search of superior alcohol with its dedicated cellars for high-end wines, skilled drinks stewards and tastings. "We become less grocery choice and more than one wine shop, destination wines, beer and spirits," said MannEnthusiast.
