Launching My Wine Business By Local Wine Tasting

I live on Hayling Island, south of England. I want to start marketing my Local business by holding a small Trade fair, to include wine tasting from already established wine dealers, like you. My is, is it possible for you to get involved, directly or indirectly in this at all ? How does one go about fixing prices for stalls and getting the necessary materials to do with wine tasting?
Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW

I wish I could help you with your project in England, but I am based in the U.S. and your country is far beyond my area of direct expertise or experience in the wine business. It sounds as if you need a local person who is knowledgeable about all the details of the trade in your country and locale. Good luck with your plans.
