LDB Wholesale Operations will be resuming bottle pick service for an additional selection of SKUs.

Bottle pick service for high demand SKUs was restored last month, and another 35 selections from all categories will be available for bottle pick, effective immediately. These 35 products reflect the next top-selling SKUs and were chosen in an effort to support liquor retailers and hospitality customers while ensuring orders will be picked, assembled and shipped on time.
