Whether being an imported wine agent is reliable can't be generalized. On the reliable side, as living standards improve, demand for high-quality imported wines is growing, indicating good market potential. Formal import channels like Zhongshitong, with strict selection and customs procedures, can guarantee quality and reduce counterfeit risks.
However, there are unreliable aspects too. The market is highly competitive - without good marketing channels and customer resources, it might be hard to establish yourself. Initial costs for storage and personnel are also considerable. So thorough research, choosing the right partners, and developing marketing strategies are essential.

Hard to say definitively - it depends on your capabilities. If you're good at sales and can establish good channels, it should work out.

It's somewhat risky. The imported wine market is mixed with good and bad - you must be careful about dishonest suppliers.
