How to Start Your Own Wine Business
Open a Vineyard, Winery, 
Wine Bar or Wine Store
Imagine having a fun and rewarding career that gives you the opportunity to turn your love of fine wines into a profitable business. When you become a wine merchant you can choose to open any of the following wine businesses:
  • You can open your own wine store and sell bottled wines to customers within a community. 
  • You can open your own wine bar and create a social establishment to attract locals as well as tourists and vacationers. 
  • You can open your own winery or start your own vineyard, to personally oversee how your wine products are made, stored and shipped. 
When you open a wine business you will become part of a growing industry as rich as a chilled bottle of Chardonnay. Wine sales in the U.S. have more than doubled since the early 1990s, reaching $26 billion in 2005. 

Wine is a drink that never goes out of style, but it is particularly trendy today. Popularized in the Academy Award winning movie Sideways and the bestselling book French Women Don't Get Fat, wine's health benefits have been extensively reported in North American news media.
