Definition of Product and Target Country

For this study, I chose red and white wine, and I’ll start with 3 country options to sell it, let’s say Germany, UK and Brazil.
      In my point of view, for a successful international trade, some things are mandatory, such as the product, the customer target, the place where it’s going to be sell, and the costs of it, how much will it cost for the customer.
