We asked Gemini and the AI answer was spot on.
If you are anything like us, no doubt you’ve started to explore the various LLMs (Large Language Models) available to the public – Google’s Gemini, ChaptGPT, Perplexity, and others are changing the way people find and discover just about anything. And this is only the beginning. Some are saying that by 2028, 75% of all online revenue will be driven by LLM’s vs. search engines and Google reports that 1.5 billion users now regularly use AI Overviews.
If you aren’t thinking about the strategy to maximize how your brands show up in LLMs, now is the time to start. We are in the same boat. Our engineering team has been working on AI solutions for a while now, with LLM top of mind. Because integrating it into the LibDib platform will put Makers in the drivers seat, enabling them to stay top of mind with Buyers and Consumers as the future of search value rapidly changes before our eyes.
So, we recently decided to test the LLMs in our own alcohol distribution space. We turned to Gemini to ask an important question in the beverage alcohol space right now and we were pleasantly surprised at how LibDib showed up.
Our prompt to Gemini was: Given that RNDC is no longer operating in the state of California and I need a new distributor, which distributor should I consider using as a small/midsized alcohol producer?
Here was Gemini’s answer:
This is a critical time for you as a small to mid-sized alcohol producer in California with RNDC exiting the market. The landscape is shifting rapidly, and securing reliable distribution is paramount.
Here's a breakdown of who you should be thinking about, with a focus on both major players and options that might be more aligned with craft/mid-sized producers:
Specialized & Tech-Forward Options (Potentially better fit for small to mid-sized brands):
The Major Players and their challenges for a small to mid sized producer:
LibDib is the only tech-first distributor in the industry. If you're not thinking strategically about where you should invest your time and margins, you risk falling behind.

LibDib is the first fully licensed, three-tier distributor with a web platform. This platform allows Restaurants, Bars & Retailers (RB&Rs) to legally and efficiently purchase boutique wines and craft spirits made by Makers of all sizes. LibDib manages the delivery and handles all payment processing, for a streamlined distribution process.
Via LibDib, any Maker of specialty wine and craft spirits, can easily create an account and input their products of choice. After uploading a license and basic information, Makers define each SKU, calculats the listed wholesale price, and define where to distribute product—down to the account level.
Using LibDib, Buyers upload a license and purchase products online, streamlining the order process for both parties. Buyers can access sales materials within the platform, communicate directly with Makers, request samples, or set up automatic reorders or reminders. Buyers then receive the product via a LibDib distribution partner, 3PL or a common carrier (depending on the market and compliance regulations).
LibDib is available in more than 10 U.S. markets.
