sell wines

[slovakwine]

HECTOR -

Sorry to say, but I could not agree more with hotwine. We are in the process of importing and selling wine right now (from Slovakia) and it is a major headache. We have been contacted by several people like you who are interested in doing this (even though we are just beginners really) because our web site has some information on importing and people found us searching on the internet for this information. Because of this, we have decided to write a series of articles on everything we have had to go through to import wine and then sell it online. The first article is up on our web site now and we will probably put up another one every couple of days.

This article is really just an introduction, but we will go through - selecting vineyards, having the wine tasted, selecting the wines, finding a distribution system, working on COLA approvals, building a web site, dealing with shipping, ATF licenses, ..............and probably a lot more. We are about 80% through the process right now and we are learning as we go.

This is no get quick rich idea at all and there are middle men all along the way who will take chunks from your profit. (Ha! I said profit, that might only be a theoretical term until we can import multiple containers at a time).

Other than our site, you can also try freethegrapes.org and wineinstitute.org (along with atf.treas.gov).

I just found this message board today and I am definitely sticking around. It looks great. Thanks all.
