Selling alcohol online from home

[SJB96]

I am looking at setting up an online business from home and considering selling alcohol along with this.

Does anyone have any experiences or knowledge of the licences that I will require in order to do this?

There is some advice here. Basically you need a personal licence and premises licence.

[Alcohol Sales On-Line]

You would be able to sell on-line to consumers. However, the dispatching point (or warehouse) must hold a Premises Licence. In addition, your site is required to sell to over 18s only.
Sales to business ie where the product is sold, are treated differently to consumer sales and will require AWRS accreditation.
