I have to wonder if the folks making this argument (you’re not alone) have ever purchased alcohol. It’s typically stored in large, heavy, breakable glass bottles. Who’s going to carry a case of beer on a scooter?

Totally valid, a scooter would not be ideal for a large purchase. I wasn't imagining people were hitting the Wine Source like a Costco on the reg.

I used to buy a few cases at a time on my bike. It has a storage platform on the back for carrying cargo. I don't go to Wine Source anymore though, because they removed their bike rack.

With the average case of wine weighing somewhere between 30 and 40 pounds and an assumption that a “few” is more than 2, I have to say, I’m pretty fucking impressed.

Mostly bought beer cases but definitely carried 4 cases of cheap bubbly before for a brunch. There are lots of bikes (and ebikes) out there designed to carry big loads.
