The Schnucks grocery chain is adding beer and wine to its deliveries.

The Maryland Heights-based grocery chain with about 100 locations said Wednesday that beer, wine and spirits can be delivered to Missouri and Illinois customers in as little as an hour after customers make their online order at Schnucksdelivers.com.

Schnucks added grocery delivery through Instacart in 2017 but previously did not include alcohol.

“Since we launched Schnucks Delivers more than two years ago, many shoppers have requested that we add their favorite adult beverages to the platform,” Schnucks' Chief Business Development and Transformation Officer Ryan Cuba said in a statement. “The expansion of products available through Schnucks Delivers is another way that we’re helping our customers better manage their busy lifestyles.”
