Importing Alcohol

herewego

I'm hoping that someone with experience of importing alcohol could give me some advice. I've been working on a drink idea for a while now. I've found a company within in the EU that will produce it for me and I have packaging ect. sorted. I can't go into the specifics of the product but I will say it is a pre-mixed drink somewhat similar to this:

I was wondering how do I go about importing it and what charges will I have to pay. I had a look on the revenue site but can't work out exactly what I would be paying. Would it be possible to get a wholesalers license to sell the product?





I have no experience with importing goods so please excuse my ignorance/stupidity.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers
