It is impermissible to engage in any work related to alcohol, whether it be transportation, production, or anything else, due to the : "Allah has cursed alcohol, its drinker, its server, its seller, its buyer, its presser, the one for whom it is pressed, its carrier, and the one to whom it is carried." If the work is limited to permissible things, such as producing oil and mineral water, then there is no harm. Otherwise, it is obligatory to abandon the forbidden work; and whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.
