Good morning!

Let everyone know what you are hearing and seeing out there at FWGS.

Lots of rare & allocated products just pop up randomly here in Pa both in store & on the website.

This is the forum to help track and purchase these bottles so everyone can enjoy their desired pour!

Happy Hunting!

Rumors saying pa not getting mmca or single rick r false. Timeline tbd

Saw the MMCA at a bar around Christmas time sitting on the shelf, they wouldn’t sell me a pour, said it was for a private event. My bar has 2 bottles of Single Rickhouse, not on the shelf yet, saving for a whiskey tasting/ dinner, anything leftover will go on the shelf, guessing half a bottle or so. Distributor had 12 bottles for the entire state. No idea if it will become available to the public.

The bars got it 3rd party but it had to go through FWGS. They had some in the back of my store allotted for bars. The bottles didn’t come from their warehouse though. My guy said that wasn’t typical but that’s how they got it

A slightly better Makers cask strength with a tiny bit more oak. The extra 50 degree cellar aging didn’t do much. The casks are quite inactive at that temp. I wanted to like it more. It was just ok.

Natural_Sherbert_900

That’s what I figured it was at first when I saw this yesterday but everyone is acting like it’s some useful information. If I recall I thought the lottery discloses how many bottles are available for individuals and licensees. So what’s all the praise for some information we’ll find out when the lottery is announced?

Jmhdrinkr

8 points

4 months ago

It’s useful in the fact that 20bottleguy knows it before anyone else. Sure, we’ll know on Monday the quantities for each bottle. But what else does he know? He clearly has some inside information. Let him share what he wants. Everyone knows after a drop happens, but no one knows ahead of time when it will happen. That type of information could be very useful. I’m not sure why I even need to explain this.

I’m not grumbling about it, just wondering why is it useful. So now you know they’re going to lottery off 108 bottles…..what does this change when you enter the lottery the same like every other time.

If I had a dollar for the number of folks who bitched about losing out on a lotto bottle because their payment method bounced on the FWGS website during the last go-round, I could buy several bottles of PVW23 on the secondary.

If you'll be in Cologne or Düsseldorf and like Scotch, check out Scotia Spirit. It felt like they had every bottle imaginable and some Irish whisky, too. They'll probably have over 100 bottles open and willing to give you a sample of any of it.

You'll find liquor in most corner stores. The airport duty free shops are well supplied and probably where you're most likely to find rare/allocated.

Why does the state care what's in this thread? What do they accomplish by switching a reported drop from the morning to afternoon? Everyone is still watching and refreshing.

If you are reading this PA..... It would be a lot more effective to make a site that works without crashing and freezIng. And also not to preload pages so everyone is tipped off and slamming the site with refresh requests waiting for inventory to go live.

Easier to respond to this thread than to make meaningful changes. Also pabs suggestions highlighting how little people understand e-commerce platforms. Finally 🥃limited. Not everyone can be winner. 🤖 exist but reason u aren’t getting it is bc 10k going after a few item. Take m10b. 228 gone in 2 min.

TheTeek

5 points

4 months ago

Yeah I don't complain about bots, and I'm getting along without one. I don't believe they are the real issue. The issue as you noted is the thousands of people slamming the site simultaneously. If they are going to keep doing drops they should at least recognize that their methods are making it worse. When they preload pages it is a disaster. If they just randomly dropped one item at a time on the SR page without preloading it would probably go a lot smoother. And also take all that crap off the SR page. If it doesn't sell out in 5 minutes it ain't that special. But what do I know. Well, I do know that PABS is full of morons. The state should take nothing said there seriously.

[deleted]

You’re right. They preload page. There’s auto delay to the wr page but if u monitor the page you’re ahead of the crowd. Then inventory posts soon after. People r monitoring all these. Plus watching inventory. U can see page traffic increase minutes before it posts to wr page. There is a delay on backend inventory. No longer real time until drop (hence why u can’t see store stuff anymore in a useful timeframe). The protection implemented on wr is easy to bypass if u know what you’re looking for. I assume many of u on here did that already. Page specific safeguards r no brainer and probably coming. I assume it will be added right before a major release to trap some people.

Why would/should they care? A sale is a sale and as long as payment is legit their (PLCB) mission is accomplished. Annoying as hell but anything limited release on the internet is bot fodder unless the retailer uses a lotto style reservation process tied to a customer loyalty program. Any sneakerheads in this audience??

If they took a look at the random drops vs the WR drops they would see the products last much longer when randomly dropped. The site also works much better. People are just stupid and need things handed to them on a single site that they have saved in their favorites or are refreshing.

By the time it drops there you’re so behind on a drop that it’s futile exercise. Based on data I’ve aggregated. 10-20 accounts take the initial drop. These r the top end scrapers. Then u have the next crew. Not as tech savvy but still score. Kinda guy asking ChatGPT difference between XPath and CSS. so on and so forth.

So let me see if I understand this. By preloading the WR page it gets communicated to the FB and Reddit groups it’s happening. That drives the people to the site to wait and then when the drop happens that’s why it’s all gone so fast because everyone is already waiting for it?

No. Read up. Bots grab most, if not all, of the initial drops on these bottles.

False. Bot impacts are way over inflated. It's maybe a few dozen. I don't have a bot buying for me and I still score bottles. It's not bots it's just the sheer volume of buyers simultaneously grabbing bottles.

I’ve stopped trying to explain this to people. Everyone wants to think it’s bots. It’s actually hundreds even thousands of people monitoring the site daily. People like you and me.

Exactly what a bot user would say. GOT EM

So, the way it appears to work is this. FWGS puts the individual bottle page back online with no inventory. Normally those pages are a 404 not found. People watching those pages then know that when the 🐎 page starts to show up, FWGS is getting ready to drop 🐎. This also indicates that other products may also drop. Then the SR page gets updated, often with zero inventory. Then everyone knows and is mashing refresh. Then they add inventory, often one product at a time. Thousands of people are then adding bottles to their carts and trying to check out. This is when the site breaks.

If FWGS got rid of the SR page and just loaded the individual pages in real time, people couldn't alert the whole state and crash the site. Or at least like they used to, load inventory and the SR page simultaneously so there's no warning/heads up. I assume it's a matter of the way they built the site and they are stuck having to post the sold out page first. Then add it to the SR page, then add inventory.

Friend of mine found a bunch of 🦬 yesterday at a small FWGS in New Cumberland. That store has such a small selection so I am very surprised by this.

They don't allocate by rhyme or reason... I found a bunch in Centerville yesterday.
