How frequently do major spirits distributors like Speciality Drinks update their price lists?

Based on member experience, major spirits distributor price lists are updated irregularly rather than on a fixed schedule. - **Speciality Drinks** — Members tracked updates across: February 2024, May 2023, February 2023, June 2022, and March 2022. No consistent monthly or quarterly pattern is evident; gaps between updates range from 1–4 months. **Caveat:** Members do not appear to have a predictable update schedule from distributors, so the recommendation is to actively request the latest list directly rather than expecting regular releases on a fixed cadence.
