The most people employed in the wine profession are Wholesale Sales People!. Alcohol cannot be sold wholesale across state lines, thus every state has many many distributors that sell wine, spirits, and beer!. I worked as a wine wholesale salesman for about 3 years!. Try looking up companies like Southern Wines and Spirits, or Charmer-Sunbelt!. Those are two of the biggest ones and have state offices all around the country!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
