Paula, Ask a shoplifter. They will know! Ha!
Seriously, l would contact the supermarket and tell them you needed it for a celebration tonight, now you’re devastated as you can’t celebrate!

I think I would have resorted to some drastic method by now.

So its there for security, would not pickers for home delivery not go through the same system to have it removed , got to be open to lots of pilfering if not.

I’m so proud of myself for being able to post that photo…yeh
I only bought the whisky because there was £10 off…I have a few stashed away, so I might wait for my next asda order which will be next week , and ask the driver to take it off for me…I’ve still got the proof of my order on the computer…Thanks for your replies

Glenlivet nice. Looking at the picture a twist with a pliers might do it.

S i don’t like whisky, but O H son and sons in law do …if the worse happens, if I remember rightly you can still get the cork off with the tag still on

Yes exactly, why bother with security tags if they don’t always work…
Mmmm mmmm whiskey and ice and a dash of lemonade .
At a guess I would say the security tag is there to activate an alarm system on the way out of the supermarket without paying! 
A pair of sharp wire cutters should solve the problem, or if you are desperate to get to the whisky
(you have withdrawal shakes) then drill the centre of the cork and pour through there!
Looking at that pic, you can still get the cork out of the bottle with the tag in situ and then pour the contents into a decanter of some sort if you have one.
I am sure I read or saw a YT video which said they use a magnet to release them but it is not your problem, as people have said just cut the wire with pair of cutters and sling it in the bin.
Judd, that’s what we did the last time it happened, I bought a bottle as a xmas present and then found the tag still on it , so hubby got it instead, he managed to get the cork off …
Update…Just had this weeks Asda delivery, asked the driver if he had anything to take the security tag off, he didn’t but he tried to cut it off and couldn’t ,so he’s phoning Asda to get someone to come out and remove it for me, he said the packers are supposed to check the bottles because they don’t go out the front door …where the security alarm is…they go out the back door,must be a lot of pilfering

Wouldn’t it be a giggle if you cut the tag off yourself - and the alarm sounded in Asda!!
You can open that bottle without removing the alarm thing by simply cutting along the plastic and removing the cork!
You might get some funny looks if you offer guests a drink of whisky, but who cares?
