We’re CWSpirits.com
— your friendly neighborhood liquor store, only now it’s online and open 24/7.

Our mission? To bring the best selection of spirits, wines and right to your doorstep — no substitutions, no “sorry, we’re out.” Just the bottles you love, delivered fast, fresh, and exactly how you ordered them.

We’re here for the collectors, the casual sippers, and everyone who believes great drinks deserve great company.

Our Story

Like all great stories, ours started in a
small San Diego liquor shop with one simple idea:

Why should your access to great alcohol depend on what’s in stock at your corner store?

Back then, even the best local shops couldn’t carry everything customers wanted. Shelves were limited, popular bottles ran out fast, and shoppers often had to settle for whatever was left.

So, the Kattoula family decided to take things online — creating an experience that made it possible for anyone, anywhere in California, to order their favorite bottles with a click.

The website gained momentum fast, drawing in customers from every corner of the state who kept coming back for more.

But with growth came a new challenge: demand. Managing inventory, logistics, and marketing alone soon became more than one person could handle.

That’s when Shawn Kattoula teamed up with a group of marketing experts and investors who shared his passion for great spirits and even better service. Together, they rebuilt the website, expanded inventory, and added operational systems that transformed CWSpirits.com into one of the fastest-growing online alcohol retailers in the U.S.

That very first Black Friday and Cyber Monday after the relaunch? Record-breaking. And from there, CWSpirits.com became the go-to destination for anyone who loves discovering, collecting, or simply enjoying good drinks.

Today, even after joining forces with publicly traded LQR House (NASDAQ: YHC),the founding team still runs CWSpirits.com with the same heart and care as that little corner shop.

Because while we’ve grown, our mission hasn’t changed — make every customer feel like a friend, and every delivery feel like a visit to your favorite local store.
