Starting a new wine club?

[iqwatson]

I have a large data base of people over 300,000 and i would like to turn this base into a new for profit wine club. What is the best way to do this? go to the wineries and act as a middleman or go to distributors? I am not interested in shipping the product out myself? The flow will be join the club...I put there order into the winerier/distributor and they send it to my member? I am a marketing guru...not a wine guru...thanks for your answers

Try setting up a website where these people can sign-on for events like wine-tastings and food pairing events.

Research your local/state (if you want it for different state as well) wine vineyards avenues to match your organized events.

Contact these vineyards to see if they can pay you commissions for wine sold and/or charge the people who sign up for the fee to organize this event.
