The work you are doing is forbidden because it involves aiding in the sale of alcohol. You must be patient and endure until you find a permissible job, for whoever abandons something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better. "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect" [Quran 65:2-3], and "And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him" [Quran 65:3].
