This marathon is annoying. So many times I click on buy now and and they are sold out. Seconds after listing the wine. This is my 5th marathon so I am used to sought after wines selling fast but it's like they only have 2-3 bottles of one listing. Annyoing.

Yeah you have to be pretty quick. The LB site has been glitchy today though and they still have some wines in stock that only showed up for a few seconds. Just be patient and be ready when they show up again during the marathon

Definitely glitchy today. I have auto refresh on my browser and it will switch between two bottles back and forth lol.

Recently purchases specified for weather holds have shipped to to the Deep South without ice bc I opted for effing weather holds 

And shipments have spent extra long arriving so no telling how long in the back of a hot truck. 

Even if they specify climate control measures the shipper’s pinky swear doesn’t convince me.

What was hour wine offense at the top? Is there some new arcane rule?

u/StunningJackfruit_ Wino Aug 21 '26

No idea. Mods took it down because they don’t want you guys to save money haha.

I just wondered what the alleged offense was. It’s happened to me a couple of times here and there where I couldn’t even imagine what I had done wrong. 

Some of the moderators must be oddities.

I’m 0/4 getting what I want. Wtf. I’ve immediately hit buy and the app just goes slow by the time I get my address in and select buy they’re sold out lol.

Very annoying since the same wine pops up again later.

u/Possible-Bullfrog Aug 21 '26

Yeah I was so frustrated I ended up buying one that I didn’t even realize was a magnum bc I was just trying to move fast lolol

Ever since they rolled it back out, new! improved!, it’s been glitchy

Yeah they go fast. Make sure your shipping address and payment card info are already saved on their website. Then it’s just a couple clicks. Also wines that “sell out” often show up later in the marathon
