With nearly 15 years in the industry, she felt a desire to broaden her expertise. \u201cI thought I needed to see another way of doing things. I wanted to broaden my perspective, get some variety and break new ground.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elina originally ended up in the industry thanks to her language skills. \u201cI\u2019m trained as an Italian language teacher. It was precisely because of the language that I ended up working for an importer with a particular focus on Italian products,\u201d she recalls. At the time, Elina\u2019s interest in wine deepened and she completed several wine qualifications.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to her strong background, Elina already knows the world of wine extensively \u2013 and even after all these years, she still gets excited about it. \u201cI\u2019m especially into what Italy, Spain and France have to offer. I often gravitate towards certain regions,\u201d Elina explains, describing her taste in wine. \u201cBut I always want to encourage everyone to boldly try something new.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passion comes from within<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s easy to get excited about wine, because the world of wine is endlessly fascinating and you can look at it through history, culture, chemistry or even gastronomy. Wine always makes a meal a little better and creates the feeling that there\u2019s no rush.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elina\u2019s workday is a success if she\u2019s been able to work in a good atmosphere and in good company. \u201cAt its best, of course, the day would be if you\u2019d won a listing or managed to turn a bad trend into a better one,\u201d she laughs, but adds that those are naturally not everyday things. \u201cIn day-to-day work, I expect variety and versatility: as a counterbalance to the numbers, it\u2019s important to also find time for self-development and sparring with colleagues.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elina is looking forward to her years at Norex with excitement and confidence. \u201cYou could sense right away that everyone enjoys being here. It feels like people are doing well.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:44% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"315\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/norex.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/elina-salminen.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25790 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/norex.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/elina-salminen.png 315w, https:\/\/norex.fi\/app\/uploads\/2024\/04\/elina-salminen-300x384.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Elina Salminen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Product Manager, Wines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-water-100-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">050 582 8364<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"mailto:elina.salminen@norex.fi\">elina.salminen@norex.fi<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"product-block_d53dff11432a7f649ec8c0bde0f1b68e\" class=\"block-product alignfull\">\r\n\r\n    \r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/unpkg.com\/swiper@6.0.4\/swiper-bundle.min.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n\r\n    var swiper = new Swiper('#product-block_d53dff11432a7f649ec8c0bde0f1b68e .swiper-container', {\r\n        slidesPerView: 1,\r\n        spaceBetween: 20,\r\n        \/\/ init: false,\r\n        pagination: {\r\n            el: '.swiper-pagination',\r\n            clickable: true,\r\n        },\r\n        breakpoints: {\r\n        640: {\r\n            slidesPerView: 1,\r\n            spaceBetween: 20,\r\n        },\r\n        768: {\r\n            slidesPerView: 2,\r\n            spaceBetween: 20,\r\n        },\r\n        1200: {\r\n            slidesPerView: 3,\r\n            spaceBetween: 20,\r\n        },\r\n        }\r\n    });\r\n\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n    html, body {\r\n        overflow-x: hidden;\r\n    }\r\n\t#product-block_d53dff11432a7f649ec8c0bde0f1b68e .swiper-container {\r\n        width: 100%;\r\n        height: 100%;\r\n        padding-bottom: 2rem;\r\n        overflow: inherit;\r\n    }\r\n    #product-block_d53dff11432a7f649ec8c0bde0f1b68e .swiper-wrapper {\r\n        display: flex;\r\n        justify-content: flex-start;\r\n        flex-wrap: nowrap;\r\n        grid-gap: 0;\r\n        list-style: none;\r\n        padding: 0;\r\n        margin: 0;\r\n        margin-bottom: 2rem;\r\n    }\r\n    \r\n    #product-block_d53dff11432a7f649ec8c0bde0f1b68e .swiper-slide {\r\n        flex: none;\r\n        max-width: 100%;\r\n        height: auto;\r\n        justify-content: center;\r\n        margin: 0;\r\n    }  \r\n\r\n    #product-block_d53dff11432a7f649ec8c0bde0f1b68e .swiper-pagination {       \r\n        bottom: 1rem;\r\n    }\r\n    #product-block_d53dff11432a7f649ec8c0bde0f1b68e .swiper-pagination-bullet-active {\r\n        background: hsl(210, 5%, 16%);\r\n    }\r\n<\/style>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do the following brands have in common: Baron de Ley, Finca Museum, Tosti 1820, Louis Jadot, Marchesi di Barolo, Wolfberger, Rotari, Mezzacorona, Stemmari, Maison Darragon, and Ch\u00e2teau des Jacques?
