Police Scotland said two men were seen entering a compound on the city’s Cambuslang Road on Saturday night.
They used an HGV to make off with a trailer containing the alcohol.
Police are investigating, with officers also reminding people that if they are offered cut-price alcohol for sale, it could be stolen.
If you are offered alcohol at a discounted price, you would be wise to suspect it has been stolen.
Detective Inspector Stuart Gillies said: “One suspect is described as being of slim build, average height, wearing a dark jacket, dark trousers, white trainers, dark face/head covering and dark gloves.
“The other suspect is described as medium build, short in height, wearing blue jeans, dark trainers or boots, orange hi-vis jacket, blue sleeves underneath, striped beanie-style hat and black gloves.”
He added: “Those responsible will be looking to sell on the alcohol. If you are offered alcohol at a discounted price, you would be wise to suspect it has been stolen. It is a criminal offence to buy stolen goods.”
