Resumen del Editor

Have you ever wanted to be your own boss? Are you longing to quit your 9 to 5 job and work from home? Do you also enjoy sipping a crisp chardonnay or a smooth, oaky Merlot? What if I told you that you can enjoy this lifestyle while making money, too?

In Wine Import Business Startup, I show you how to start, run, and grow your own home-based wine import business, step by step.

I have always appreciated wines. I guess, you could say, I was in love with wine. I knew what the supposed experts said about food and wine pairings. I knew how to describe the body and the tannins of the wine. When I found myself out of work, laid off from my typical office nine-to-five job, I was inspired by wine. One evening, while sipping a glass of my favorite casual red blend, I started examining the label.

Where did my wine come from? What was its journey to get to me like? Who comprised the components of that voyage? What kind of money did they make doing it?

I share with you what I learned as I researched where the wine we drink comes from. This curiosity launched my home-based wine import business. I became my own boss! I have been in this business for a few years now, and it’s as lucrative as ever. In my book, I show you how I got started and how I continue to make my business thrive.

I am still just as in love with wine today as I was when I first started - probably even more so now! In this book, I will show you exactly what you need to get started with your own wine company brand. I have done most of the initial legwork for you.

In this audiobook, you will learn:

• What are some beginning business basics
• What you need to know about the estimated startup costs
• How to write a solid business plan
• How to obtain an EIN

• How to create a website
• How to do market research
• How to develop good packaging
• How to listen to your customers
• Why you should attend trade shows
• What you need to know about the terms of a wine sale

Don’t worry, listening to this book won’t be like you’re studying for an MBA. In fact, I believe that real life rarely mirrors what you learn in a classroom setting. This book is full of time-tested advice from someone who is actually in the industry. I am encouraged to share my knowledge with you!

We’ll discuss other topics such as:

• Alcohol-based companies marketing codes
• The importance of social media
