Have you heard about the Mars One project?

I can see life on Mars initially being a lot or work. Requiring skill, expertise and the right attitude.
So I am out.

Also where would I get regular beer supplies from and I'm sure it will be a while till grapes take sufficiently to make a reasonable pinot.

Basically, supplies will be sent first. And also rovers and robots that will deploy habitats and start producing enough water. And also the food will be grown inhouse in large green houses. Supplies will be sent every two years along with 4 other astronauts.

Here is a good roadmap you can look into:
