If there is one thing I have learned in my years of experience is that when you show passion for something its infectious. When you infect someone with the "wine bug" its hard to get rid of. Then it can be very lucrative. I understand its a little bit of a pipe dream I just think at the right time with the right people it could be something really cool.

I completely agree. At some point, doesn't someone need to take a "leap" to get the ball rolling? Who's to say that just because they're aren't any others like it in BR that this won't be successful. I'm sure that the first guys that wanted to start a food truck here met the same warnings, now look how many there are.
Start the revolution brother.

One of the best wine shops I've ever encountered (and worked at) was a tiny, focused one in rural Lexington, VA (population 6,000). You can sell good wine anywhere. Now difference is, they were the only game in town. In BR, you are going to compete with Martins, Whole Foods, Calandro's, Marcello's (the old Cuban Liquor). Places that are engrained as the spot to buy your booze from.
A strictly wine shop probably wont make it. You will need the margins on liquor to make rent at first. But it isnt inconceivable that what you want to do would work in BR. If you make it back down this way, check out Keife & Co. which just opened in downtown New Orleans. It is a model that is built to succeed.
