  • prob not..u need proof of purchase (either bank statement or receipt)..is it their own brand cos if it is they may offer a voucher/credit note but take note it might be for the price its going through the till as (it may have gone down since u got it)
    if in doubt ring the store n take a note of the name who you spoke to incase you need to go back to the store.
    hope this helps

    As per thread about champagne the other day, many food retailers will not accept returns on any form of food/drink for potential hygene/food safety reasons

    That's correct. However with a clearly sealed bottle of booze and a dated receipt some will use common sense and accept it.

    The biggest issue is lack of receipt. Spirits are the main category stolen from food retailers, returning them for cash is even better than having to flog it down the pub. I'm in no way saying this is the case with the OP, just the retailer will be suspicious.
  • Thanks everyone - I'll probably drink it instead then!
    Merry Christmas
