I will give you the best advice you could ever get regarding getting into the beverage business...Run away! Run away now! keep running until you cannot run anymore then take a few more steps. The only way to make a small fortune in the beverage business is to start with a really big one.

First of all it is probably the most competitive business on the planet. It is extremely expensive. You should expect to give away the farm or sell your soul for any distributor to give you the slightest bit of attention. Stop yourself now before you get to deep. If your idea is so great put together proto types and shop it to small ongoing companies to license it and distribute it along with there brands to leverage existing relationships.

Sorry for the grim look at it, but as you have probably ben told it's for your own good.

Now run forest run!!!!!!
