My dream is to open a wine store (wine only, not a generic liquor

I would like to know if there are store owners in the group who would
like to share their experiences.
Was it worth it opening the store? Is it still worth it? Pitfalls? How
to get figure out the numbers for a business plan? Any information is
helpful.

From a customer's viewpoint, I would strongly encourage you to include
a few quality beverages that may be served before, with, or after a
meal. Depending on what country you are in, these might include
Cognac, Armagnc, fruit eau-de-vie such as Framboise, perhaps a few
quality liquors. In other words, I would suggest a one-stop for buying
what you need for a dinner. If customers are forced to go to another
store to buy Cognac, etc they need for a meal, they may find it more
convenient to buy their wine at the other store also.

That makes sense. I just don't want to fall into opening a liquor
store that looks cheap.
Thank you,
