Seems as if there a a few wine drinkers here, anyone interested in starting a wine Co-op? We could get our wine a cost and perhaps make a little extra $$$ on the side

yeah. a buddy of mine is starting his own distributorship here in texas. laws vary so much by state that it'd be insane to try and do it nationwide..

getting wine shipped to Florida is a mission impossible! same was in NY but somebody sued the state and WON, under the 100+ years old law prohibitting state interfernce with interstate commerce. should I sue the state of Florida and become independent Oprano wine merchant? who is with me? I say we can start with $1,000,000 in legal fund ;-))) that's a LOT of wine, my friends ;_)))

First off, it would be best to stick with Reciporcal States. For more info:
http://www.wineinstitute.org/shipwine/anal...ro_analysis.htm I am not up on all of the latest shipping laws, but I know that there has been some improvement in the last few years. Unfortunately, liquor laws are a Constitutional issue . I once put together a Business Plan for what I called, Progressive Wine Pricing. Basically, the more one spent in the last 12 months, the greater the discount they would receive, getting down to a 10% mark-up over cost. The whole system was based on NOT carring inventory. All orders were on a case basis. Orders were held until the deepest distributor discount could be obtained, then shipped. I can have orders shipped to a Bonded Warhouse and then pack those orders and have them shipped for a minimal cost (Like $50/pallet/month storage). Since most of the wine sales take place in the Recip states, I figured I do not even need to worry about the others. In fact, it could work with just CA alone. Since I no longer think about wine as a "job", I was just thinking about cutting costs and getting my own liquor license (Beer & Wine, Off-sale, about $6000, $9000 tops) so I could buy wholesale. I alone would break even with the amount of money I spend on wine. (14 bottles a week, $15 avg. = $14,000. Even at a low mark-up that is $2800/Year to the retailers). There must be a few people out there that could benefit from this arrangement as well. Hell, the whole set-up would be less than 1 months content . Before porn, wine was my life . . . even today, it is a big part of it . . . |
