Wine Supplier Bibendum to supply 2012 Olympics

The London 2012 Olympics has been choosed Bibendum as the wine and Champagne supplier.

After a tender process with The London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG),Bibendum has been able to secure the significant and high-profile contract.

“exciting, an honour, and a once in a lifetime opportunity” said by the Bibendum's managing director, Michael Saunders.

He also expressed that it would bring “incredible prestige for producers,” with the games attracting heads of state as well as many high-profile personalities from around the world.

There is still an ambiguity that which of Bibendum’s suppliers would be involved although he said that for the corporate hospitality side of the Olympics, “great wines” would be needed, and that “English wines will be extremely high up the agenda.”

He concluded that he would be working with a “variety of different suppliers, many of whom are current suppliers, but not necessarily all.”
