How to start a wine import business?

Starting a wine (import) business requires a lot of effort like any business. Following these steps will help.

Analyzing the market. Is there a need for the wines I want to import? If not, what need is there at the moment. What are other people importing, what works and what doesn’t? Who is my customer (make it specific)?
Strategy. Write a business plan. Make sure it includes answers to questions like: How can I stand out? What are my goals (long term and short term).
Preparation. Make sure your product is excellent. Try the wines yourself and let other people give their opinion. Work on your preparation, your logo, your website, branding. Make a marketing plan.
Execution. This is the most important. Start and NEVER GIVE UP. Give it all you got. It won’t be easy but if you show up every day, you will succeed.
