To be an agent for importing foreign red wines, first of all, you should do a good job in market research. Understand the local red wine market demands, consumers' preferences and the situation of competing products, such as whether local consumers prefer dry red or sweet red, and which brands are popular, etc.
Secondly, look for reliable suppliers. You can do this through attending red wine exhibitions, online platforms and other means. Suppliers with good reputations and rich product lines like Zhongshitong are good choices. You need to examine their product quality, price systems and the stability of their supply.
Furthermore, handle relevant qualifications, such as food business licenses, etc. This is the basis for legal business operations.
Then, formulate marketing strategies by combining online and offline methods. Promote online using social media and conduct tasting events offline, etc.
Finally, do a good job in inventory management to avoid overstocking or out-of-stock situations.

Fund preparation is crucial. The purchase, transportation and storage of imported red wines all cost money, so you should reserve enough funds for turnover.

The location selection is also important. If there is an offline store, it should be located in an area with a large flow of people and high consumption ability, such as near a commercial center.
