Wine-making as a business for baby boomers
May 21, 2008 by Jean Murray
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.
I am always excited to find new businesses after the major career is over. Reinventing the wheel is where it is at for baby boomers. Life begins at sixty…This is the time to do exactly what you have always wanted to do.
