Overview
The growth in wine consumption occurred despite a sluggish economy.
Wine is increasingly becoming mainstream. More Americans are
discovering wines and incorporating it into their lives and lifestyles.
Today consumers seek better, more interesting wines which taste of
quality but are reasonably priced. They understand that wine does not
have to cost a lot to be good, but many consumers are not sure where to
find good inexpensive wines. Vino 100 is just what the consumer is
asking for. We make sure we deliver great wines at reasonable prices.
We taste hundreds of wines from vineyards all over the world. Less than
1 out of 200 wines we taste make the Vino 100 cut. Combine great wines
with an innovative, new merchandising system and top it off with a
growing market and you have a unique and very real recipe for retail
success. What is missing from this mix are great store owners to help
is in building the Vino 100 wine retailing concept.
It gives us great pleasure to introduce this exciting business opportunity to you. At Vino 100 our goal is to make the business of wine an enjoyable experience for our store-owners and our customers.

Products & Services
Vino
100 is one of those rare concepts that people hear about and
immediately understand. Quite simply they "get" it. It makes sense. And
once in the store as Vino 100 customers, they love it! It is their
enthusiastic reactions that motivated us to begin to franchise this
concept around the country.
So many of us enjoy wine. How often, though, do we experience the frustrations of buying wine? Wine stores are all too often intimidating, snobbish and expensive, or are designed as wine "superstores" where the quantity of wines is overwhelming and the quality of wines and the service provided is under whelming.
So we developed Vino 100, a different type of wine store. Vino 100 offers our customers a comfortable, affordable and fun way to buy wines. We even guarantee our wines and stand behind each bottle we sell, which gives us credibility with our customers, and actually increases their purchases. We created a store design that ensures that the wine is the star. Each wine is showcased on its own pedestal accompanied by our unique Vino 100 Wine Barometer tm, a graphic, easy-to-understand wine rating and information system. We capture this information in our Wine Palate Computer System, and use it to tailor our marketing efforts to further strengthen our relationship with our customers.
Our Vino 100 store is brilliant in its simplicity and user-friendliness. We offer great wine values and a store atmosphere that is information-based, comfortable and fun for both our employees and our customers. That our store concept is appealing has been repeatedly confirmed to us by the frequent return visits by our customers, and their insistence that their friends and families join them when they next stop in and shop with us.
From a business point of view Vino 100 is economical in terms of its size, personnel and inventory requirements. The wines we feature are small batch, artisan brands from around the world, rather than the more commercialized, heavily discounted major brand names. Our expert team travels the world to discover little-known, but superior quality wines and vineyards, which allows us to offer a selection that won't be found in other stores, and to realize above-industry gross margins.
