Student's Business to Be Featured by Wine Enthusiast
Undergraduate Josh Hackler’s business, Spanish
Vines, will be featured on the
http://wineenthusiast.com Web site for the
month of April. Spanish Vines is the sole importer of the red wine, Tempranillo, which
received a Best Buy recognition among Spanish wines from Wine Enthusiast.
Hackler, set to graduate in May with majors in international business, global supply chain management, and risk management, and a minor in Spanish, is already well on his way to operating his own successful import business. He is hard at work (around his academic schedule) branding his company and filling a niche market for Spanish wines and food products.
His Web site, http://spanishvines.com is up and running, and will soon feature an interactive site where visitors can learn more about Spanish recipes, travel, and language.
Spanish Vines wines are available for purchase
in North Carolina and South Carolina at outlets such as Green’s in Columbia, South Carolina.
Hackler has plans to expand the sales to wider markets in the future. (Read more about this young
entrepreneur in a future issue of
