The 8greenbottles Team
Anne
Anne is our sommelière, store manager and gastro responsible in one. Her favorite wines are Hannes, Rosé Pet Nat by Piri Naturel and Riesling M by Schmitt.
And here's what Anne does when she's not at 8greenbottles:
"Keep tasting wine at home, of course! 😉 But also a lot more: for example, cat sitting (yes, that exists), whizzing around Berlin on my homemade bike, and watching a fair amount of trash reality TV (sorry not sorry)."
Melis
Melis works as a wine consultant in our Berlin stores. Her favorite wines are MTH by Andi Weigand and Perfect Day.
And here's what Melis does when she's not at 8greenbottles:
"I like everything that has to do with music, food and wine (natural, of course). These are the three albums I'm currently listening to on repeat: Beyonce, Steve Lacy and Big Thief. Oh, and by the way, I'm also studying psychology at the FU Berlin 😉"
Nora
Nora works as a wine consultant in our Berlin stores. Her favorite wines are Feminin by Schmitt, El Carner by Matassa and Blanc de Noir by Marto.
And that's what Nora does when she's not at 8greenbottles :
"I like long walks with my dog, jogging and my analog camera. And these three things are even better when I'm traveling."
Lisa
Lisa works as a wine consultant in our Berlin stores. Her favorite wines are Pinot Noir from GLOW GLOW, Nice Guy and Wilder Satz.
And that's what Lisa does when she's not at 8greenbottles :
"When I'm not working in the wine stores, I like to arrange flowers. Because what could be more beautiful than a bouquet of flowers? I enjoy illustrating almost as much or arranging dinner dates with my loved ones."
Emma
Emma works as a wine consultant in our Berlin stores. Her favorite wines are two real underdogs, namely: Kalkundkiesel Red and Kontakt!
And that's what Emma does when she's not at 8greenbottles :
"A lot of observing - people, places, buildings, moments (sometimes I capture them on camera and sometimes not), moving images on the screen, art in museums or galleries and words in books. And of course: I also enjoy good food in good company. And bread!"
Kostia
Kostia also works as a wine consultant in our Berlin stores. His favorite wines are the Pinot Noir from 2Naturkinder, In a Hell Mood and Weiss from Marto.
And here's what Kostia does when he's not at 8greenbottles:
"Before the war, I often traveled back to Kyiv to my homeland. There I love the hedonistic life: be it a really good (and overpriced) filter coffee, great food, natural wines, craft beer or gin & tonics in different parts of the city. Here in Berlin, I always somehow try to find a balance between pleasure and bureaucracy. Not so easy at all😉"
Ramona
Ramona is co-founder of 8greenbottles and mainly takes care of marketing. Her favorite wines are St. Laurent by Christina, Lockvogel and Glow Glow Pinot Noir.
And here's what Ramona does when she's not at 8greenbottles:
"I read good books, watch bad shows, try to teach my dog Nellie tricks (which doesn't work out well), am always on the lookout for the best croissant, drink too much coffee (but always good coffee!), and cook with gusto and even more chili."
Philipp
Philipp is co-founder of 8greenbottles and is responsible for logistics and purchasing. His favorite wines are Puszta Libre, Pur Jus and Brand Nouveau.
And here's what Philipp does when he's not at 8greenbottles:
"My highlight is always a morning walk with Ramona, Nellie and our child. Otherwise, snowboarding in the Swiss mountains, eating & drinking well and a lot, and improving my risotto skills."
Nellie (aka #thewinepug)
Nellie is the third (not so) secret co-founder of 8greenbottles. She is team mascot and store keeper in one. She is also responsible for making sure there are always enough goodies in the stores. Her favorite wine is clearly the Glücksbrause (note the label).
And that's what Nellie does when she's not at 8greenbottles :
"Sleeping, eating (happy to eat anything on the ground), being petted, and very long walks (preferably off-leash, but I'm almost never allowed to do that)."
