To enter the import red wine agency business, first of all, one must fully understand the market. Analyze local red wine consumption demands, mainstream price ranges, and popular varieties. For example, first-tier cities have a high demand for high-end red wines, while the mid-to-low-end market is vast in second- and third-tier cities.
Secondly, find a reliable supplier. You can participate in domestic and international wine exhibitions, and professional supply chain platforms like Zhongshitong. Check the other party's qualifications, product quality, and reputation.
Furthermore, plan funds. This includes the first batch of payment for goods, store rent (if there is an offline store), staff salaries, marketing and promotion expenses, etc.
Then, handle relevant certificates, such as the Food Business License.
Finally, build a sales channel. Use e-commerce platforms online and cooperate with restaurants, bars, and distributors offline.
