About this course
Starting a wine brand can cost far more than most people expect. Custom wines often need a three-pallet minimum, about 2,300 bottles, which can push your costs above $15,000 to $20,000 before you spend anything on branding. This course walks you through 8 critical steps to start a wine brand for $10,000 or less.
You'll learn how to begin with shiners, which are finished, unlabeled wines you taste and then white label. You can do this with little or no inventory through consignment. You'll also see why deciding where you'll sell first matters so much: it sets which licenses you need, and you should budget $2,000 to $5,000 for them.
The course then covers building your brand around your why and designing labels that stand out while meeting legal and compliance requirements. You'll learn why your website and shipping setup must be compliant for alcohol sales, licensing and delivery to other states.
Finally, you'll see why a proven marketing and sales system matters, and why working with a coach, mentor and community beats going it alone. This course is for aspiring wine brand owners who want a practical, lower-cost path to launch.
