Do you have a wine business? Can anyone achieve this if it's their dream?

Question

Do you have a wine business and did you start out with a lot of or a little money or knowledge about wine? I think this is my dream. I'm not rich or that knowledgeable yet. But I'm still reasonably young. If you own one, please tell me how hard or how possible it is.

Answer 1

i would do a wine course so that you can build on a basic knowledge and maybe make contacts and buy wine magazines to keep up with whats happening and market trends- like any industry there are flavour of the month/ year wines and winemakers. think about what end of the market you want to be in, i lived near a market where two guys had a great business selling wine in refill bottles, they bought from the wine maker direct, cut out the bottling cost so you got good quaffing wine at a really good price- much better than cleanskins from the bottle shop

Answer 2

First get a job in an actual wine store to make sure that's what you want to do. Also the education you would need and you'll get paid to learn-:) .

Moneywise, the licences are expensive and the competition is fierce.

But, if it's your dream, then anything is possible.

You just have to want it bad enough.....................................

Answer 3

i have a family of wine collectors and i have heard a lot about it... you dont have to have alot of money you could start by getting a good side job full time and on the side read and study about wine. then you could get training and start your own buisness
