She sold out her entire stock the day after the show to hotels and Spas, she said she expected an increase in sales but not that much. A case where one of the good guys won.

£560k would give you an amazing 20 year retirement. Especially if on top of a state pension

11:54 I really feel crushed for this classy and well-educated woman!Hope all goes well for her in future🙏🏽

[ElainaKendal]

What a classy, beautiful woman, I hope she does well

[thisismarcjohnson]

She's spent £560k on a business that's got absolutely no stock left on their website. Was just about to buy a bottle of this but they've got nothing left. Shame that she didn't forsee the uplift in demand after this aired.

[Mnvrs]

What a lady! I so hoped she would get an investment... She's the entire package!

[brentea]

"Im a medical herbalist.."
Im out 😂

[royfr]

Would a man get such praise in the comments for simply doing a good presentation?

[ShayCat]

Beautiful lady inside and out. Hope she’s still successful today

[RugoGaming]

That was good feedback. Don't give up.

[udaykaushal]

This woman can be described in 2 words.
British CLASS

[alexandroschionidis]

It also makes you build muscles

"We added a scoop of protein with creatine in there"

[NorwegianKnifeDude]

Her despairing expression when she got in the elevator was heartbreaking.

[davejmanning]

I wish her all the best, a class Lady.

[Joefdgtr]

The company has made a YTD loss of £584k up to 31 January 2022.
I cant see much recent up to date social media or store availability which makes me think shes slowly paused the business unless anyone seen something ?

[bruceangel]

A program of daily brisk walking will sharpen everyone up and you’ll notice it in their energy levels, bright eyes and sharper minds.

[hawsrulebegin]

A case of wasting her money on a dream. Her previous experience should have told her that the industry is a very tough one to crack.

[pamelamckenzie]

You will find a better way you will win I say put on little parties for art exhibitions and mix it with your wine, birthdays, and fashion exhibitions your wine sells, and ask health shops to get your bottles in there. Sell to airports to serve on planes and ships. Do deals with everything.

[tommydenato]

Crazy how ppl invest so much without validating continuity

[lucifermorningstar]

I really thought that she might get a deal. nevertheless, she's gonna make it!
