Small Business Boomers

Wine-making as a business for baby boomers

by Jean on May 21st, 2008

Speaking of “little old wine-makers,” have you ever thought of wine-making as a baby boomer business?

There are several wine-making franchise opportunities available, including “Let’s Make Wine,” which was started by Ann Rosenberg, the widow of Dunkin Donuts entrepreneur Bill Rosenberg. Sean Kelly, over at FranchisePick, recently wrote a post about WineStyles, a new wine franchise which might become the Starbucks of Wine.

If you want to try making your own wine, this issue of WineMaker Magazine tells you how.  You could also visit Cape Cora, Florida, and “Time to Make Wine,” where they help you make up your own wines.

Just to get you thinking, you could:

  • Start growing your own grapes
  • Buy a winery or vineyard
  • Start a wine store
  • Own a wine bar
  • Sell wine accessory products.

I would love to hear your ideas for wine-related businesses.
