What are the responsibilities and job description for the SALES MANAGER TEXAS - BEVERAGE INDUSTRY position at FRENCH BLOOM?
French Bloom is the global leader in super-premium alcohol-free sparkling wines. In just four years, the brand has expanded to more than 60 international markets, solidifying its position as a pioneer of an entirely new category. In 2025, the Maison received a strategic investment from LVMH, marking the group’s first commitment to the alcohol-free space.
Founded by Maggie and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger alongside Constance Jablonski, the brand was born from several years of research and high standards before its launch in October 2021. With the first wine estate entirely dedicated to alcohol-free wine, French Bloom established its home in Limoux: anchored in one of the oldest sparkling wine regions in the world. It is from this foundation that the Maison continues to push the boundaries of what non-alcoholic wine can be.
Recognized as the world’s best alcohol-free sparkling for three years, French Bloom has become the French reference for those who refuse to choose between excellence and inclusivity—not a substitute for traditional sparkling wines, but a Maison that stands alongside them.
An undisputed leader in its category, French Bloom has expanded beyond its category to establish itself within the most coveted spaces of global culture and sport. The brand is the Official Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine of Formula 1® a 10-year partnership—and is present at some of the world’s most iconic moments, from Coachella, to Cannes Film Festival to Roland Garros and beyond.
Behind the Maison is a dynamic and innovative team of independent, forward-thinking individuals who believe in a world where everyone can celebrate in their own way—whether they choose to drink alcohol or not.
