What does wine dealer mean?

Red wine dealers use money to buy red wine from companies. They do not buy red wine for their own use, but sell it manually. For them, they sell with only one hand, and they focus on the spread, not the actual price.

Considering the structure of the wine market, generally wineries will not sell wine directly to retailers or restaurants, but will find distributors or middlemen to act as agents. To be a successful distributor, you must know which wines will sell best in the market. You must also be familiar with the laws and regulations surrounding alcohol. In view of this, an economics diploma and a WSET certificate are very useful.
