I notice round Manchester,stickers on lamp posts etc offering alcohol
delivery. Presumably these are illegal practices run by criminals and
other similar types?

Tesco - advertising by stickers on lamp-posts?

I would suspect that this is smuggled booze, but it is possible that the
operators of the business have a liquor licence, or are selling multiple
full cases and relying on the fact that (AIUI from a quick google)
wholesalers don't need a licence.

I think they do. But, although legal requirements apply to those who
sell booze (licensing), and to those who buy it (age etc), I don't
believe there are any for those who merely deliver it.

Why should they be? Tesco deliver wine, so why shouldn't a local off-licence?

At one time (20 years ago) selling wine by the case didnt require any
licence - have things changed ?

These "delivery services" sell booze, they don't just deliver.
Wouldn't that require a licence?
I would not be surprised if their stuff was smuggled or stolen, as
well.
