So my husband has been thinking of doing this wine business thing. I find jobs for him. I really do, I find things I think would be perfect for him...and then I kick myself for getting him to do these things ( Read more... )

I have a friend who just started the at-home wine party thing. It's like 6 bottles for 50 bucks, or something like that. The limitation I see is that at that price point you'd run out of customers pretty quickly, yanno?

yes and no...the bottles of wine sell for 15 to 20 and would retail at 30-40 at the store. If you attend a party you pay no shipping. The case discount makes it about 10-12 bucks a bottle. It's good wine. I can't see myself drinking a 30 dollar bottle of wine with dinner 2-3 times a week, but my brother in law will open up a 50 dollar bottle of wine and not even think about the price. It's all in finding the people who like the upper end wines. And if you drank 1 bottle of wine per week, you would need to order every couple months, so a case isn't a bad deal.

These are all limited runs, so the wines change quite frequently. The woman I was talking to last night said she has some people who do parties with her every 3 months just to get the "new wines"

I'm not a wine drinker either, but I have friends who are. Do they ship to PA? I could pass the site around :)

I love wine. But I've been put on a strict budget right now. I will keep this in mind, because just attending one of these would be fun. I have lots of wine drinking friends (all who live closer to you than me too!) so please send me the website and maybe contact info and I will certainly pass it all on to my people. Post something on facebook too.
