B2B alcohol sales?

    Can anyone give me advice on purchasing large volumes of alcohol B2B?

    I've been looking at the prices offered by Musgraves and the markups to be made just don't really cut it for me. There has to be competition about but I just can't seem to source any.

    Where do off licenses typically purchase their alcohol from? I've even looked into purchasing from overseas (through alibaba) but the responses are extremely tardy, if you get one!

    Musgraves wouldn't be the best for Booze Wholesaling

    You would be better off going to a drinks wholesaler. It is a few years since I was involved in anything like this, but as far as I remember Nashes and C&C were two of the biggest at the time.

    Also, a lot of off-licences, especially ones where they had a few branches, would import a certain ammount themselves, especially of the big sellers at certain times of the year. For example, coming up to Christmas, them might bring in a container of Cases of Miller Bottle and then run a special in their stores on them.
