Question
How is it permitted to carry a large number of bottles on Shabbat? And how is it forbidden?
Answer
Hello,
One should avoid carrying them in a weekday manner, such as in a shopping cart or a delivery wheelbarrow. Instead, carry them in bags or boxes.
If you have invited many people and need to quickly bring them drinks, you may carry them as you would on a weekday.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 323, סעיף 5
Do not carry them in a basket or a box as on weekdays, but carry them in front of you or on your shoulder and similar, to change from the weekday manner, even if the change does not ease the burden; if it is impossible to change, such as if you invited many guests and need to quickly bring them, it is permitted.
