Being an imported red wine agent has potential but also challenges. In terms of market prospects, as domestic consumers' living standards improve, the demand for imported red wine is gradually increasing, and the market size is expanding, offering room for development.
However, to succeed, you need to focus on several points. First is product selection—choose suitable wines based on market positioning, such as cost-effective, fruity products for young consumers. Second is the supply chain—a stable and reliable supply chain is key. For example, companies like Zhongshitong have mature systems in this area, ensuring wine supply and quality. Third is sales channels—online promotion can be done through e-commerce platforms and social media; offline partnerships can be established with restaurants and bars.
As for whether you’ll lose money, it depends on your business strategy. With reasonable planning, market research, and promotion, there are opportunities for profitability.
