How to Sell Wine

It's fun to make your own wine, but selling it can be tricky. You have to get it into the right hands. According to, winecommune.com, you must be legally permitted to sell wine in your state and the laws vary by state. When you finally sell your wine, it's a great feeling knowing people will enjoy it.

Instructions

1. Register with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau as a wine retailer. Go to ttb.gov to get more information on registering with the bureau.

2. Obtain a liquor license, if it is required by your state. The rules vary by state. Contact your state's beverage control authority for the specific rules on obtaining a liquor license.

3. Sign up with a reputable wine auction, such as Wine Commune or Wine Bid. These companies allow you to sell your wine online and reach many people. Buyers can either bid on your wine or buy instantly. Pay the listing fee for selling your wine. The listing fee is based on the price of the wine. Contact the company to determine the fee.

4. Post your wine, whether it be one bottle or a hundred, on the wine auction. At WineBid.com, you will have to fill out a seller's agreement and send it along with the wine you want to sell. However, at winecommune.com, you will fill out a seller's form online and then send the wine to the buyer.
