Bottle security has been an issue that has caused plenty of frustration among stores that sell bottled spirits and wine.  The frustration comes when the owner or manager is walking the floor to re-order, or a vendor turns in an order and he finds himself ordering product that he hasn’t sold.  The reason he is having to order replenishment for unsold merchandise is that the store has been hit by thieves.

Shoplifters being what they are, generally go after the most expensive brands.  After all, if you’re stealing, why not steal the best?

Also frustrating is finding several bottles on display that have been opened and tasted, sniffed, or sampled.  A bottle without an intact tax stamp goes back to the storeroom.

Alpha Security, a manufacturer of security products including innovative bottle locks that keep the tops on the bottles until the clerk removes them, provides the solution to these liquor bottle security problems.

Not only do the bottle locks prevent the removal of the bottle tops, they can also provide even more liquor bottle security by preventing the product from leaving the store with the bottle lock attached.  Some models have an EAS tag imbedded in the bottle lock itself so that when used in conjunction with an EAS system, an alarm is sounded whenever someone attempts to take out merchandise protected by liquor bottle security tops.  Only an employee with a proprietary key can remove bottle locks.

Alpha Security, manufacturer of security products for various lines of merchandise, relieves the frustration of missing merchandise with its selection of EASy bottle products that keep the merchandise in the store and the top on until it is sold.

EASy bottle bottle security allows the customer to handle the merchandise from an open display and read the labels when comparing products for selection.  High value/popular items will no longer be displayed behind the counter or in a locked display.  Merchants can display even the most expensive wines openly when the bottle is protected with bottle locks from Alpha Security.

Frustration goes down and profits go up with liquor bottle security.

Bottle locks are to wine and liquor shoplifters what OFF!^®  Insect Repellant is to mosquitoes.  As soon as they know it’s there, they head the other way.

Liquor bottle security has been a problem since the first bottle of spirits was openly displayed.  Alcohol is a prime target for a large segment of people that don’t want to pay for the merchandise.  There are underage people, there are the addicted, and there are those that don’t feel that they need to pay premium dollars for a premium product.  Champagne tastes on a beer budget, maybe?

Whatever the reason, liquor bottle security has its own specific set of challenges.  Customers, particularly those that are considering buying top shelf spirits and expensive wine, want to pick the bottle up, inspect it, and read the label.  Before bottle locks, the seller had to take care that his product didn’t walk out the door under some shoplifter’s jacket.  But hiding the product in a locked display or displaying it behind the counter hurt sales, when customers had to ask for the product by name.  Hidden and safe, or open display and stolen, less profit either way.

But along bottle locks and the shoplifter has a decision to make.  Does he want to take a chance on stealing a bottle protected by an Alpha Security bottle lock, or does he want to go to another store where the management doesn’t take shoplifting so seriously?

The bottle lock protects the bottle in two ways.  A cap fits over the bottle and locks easily into place so that the bottle cap or cork can no longer be removed, denying the thief the benefit of the product.  With a bottle lock in place, the bottle can only be opened by a special key that only the store has, or by breaking the bottle, which spoils the contents.  Bottle locks are equipped with an EAS (electronic article surveillance device) that work with retail anti theft devices.  When a bottle with the EASy bottle security by Alpha Security attached passes near the detector at the exit, an alarm is emitted, alerting the store staff that a bottle lock is leaving the building.  Shoplifters want two things other than free merchandise, and those are not to attract attention and not to get caught.  EASy bottle security makes both of those things likely in the event a shoplifter tries to steal merchandise protected with by bottle locks, the ultimate shoplifter repellant.

If I use bottle locks in my liquor store wont my good customers be put off by the liquor bottle security? This is a good question but it should be asked in a different way. If you don’t use bottle locks will it drive your good customers away?

Liquor bottle security is a win-win for everyone. If you do not stop the shoplifters or at least keep them down to a minimum then you will have to raise prices to cover your losses. How will your good customers react to that? They will go down the street to your competition! The use of a bottle lock does not interfere at all with the customer’s view of your product. In fact your good customers will probably ignore a bottle lock security program. They are not there to shoplift. As long as a bottle lock does not interfere with their ability to view, select and purchase your selections then it is off little concern to them.

That is another reason to use a bottle lock that has a small footprint, and has a clear top. The good customer will look past it so to speak. But here is the big advantage. A liquor bottle security program allows you to get merchandise out onto the floor that you may be keeping locked up in a case or behind the counter. Customers like that! Bottle security works!

Alpha security produces several bottle locks that fit the bill. The first generation is EASy Bottle. Great product and secure. However, for the newer bottle security look and features look to EASy Guard and Crystal Guard also by Alpha Security.

A liquor bottle security program will run off the shoplifters. There are easier targets for them… your competition! If you drive the shoplifters away they will go somewhere. If they cannot figure it out then THEY will loose money.

In the liquor bottle security world Alpha Security is the top of the line. Alpha Security has released a new product in the continuing war of liquor and wine bottle theft and shoplifting. The EASy Bottle bottle lock is designed to not only prevent shoplifters from removing the bottle from the store. It stops thieves from consuming the spirit on the property.

There are two earlier versions of bottle security which are still in production and have good features but Alpha Security is the top-of-the line in liquor bottle security. The bottle lock top is clear so price labels; tax stamps and the like can be seen on the cap. The EASy Bottle bottle lock contains either a RF or AM hard tag built right. This will trip your Checkpoint Security System if the shoplifter attempts to steal the bottle. The original EASy Bottle is a bulkier unit compared to this newer model of bottle locks.

The locking mechanism is a very cool improvement over Crystal Guard. Instead of twisting to lock or unlock you press down on a button to lock and the spring release pops up when you press down again to release the bottle lock. These are bottle locks that make life simple and secure. The new locking style is a much tighter grip than the early EASy Bottle design.

Of course, the liquor bottle security cap will require a key to remove it. There have been some changes in that area also. The original EASy Bottle Cap used a very simple key that could not be used with any other Alpha Security product. The newer units use an S3 key. This is a special key made only by Alpha Security. It is not just for liquor bottle security or a bottle lock. The S3 can be used with the entire Alpha Security line. This includes other hard tags but also the Steel Grip bottle locks line.

We have a customer that was having problems with the theft of liquor that is boxed, such as Crown Royal. The bottle locks that they have will work but they do not want to open the box to put the bottle lock on and then close up the box again. This poses a unique problem with bottle security but one that is clearly solvable.

Alpha Security has a product line called Spider Wraps. You have probably seen these in electronics’ and computer stores. A Spider Wrap is a small hockey puck shaped device with thin wires that go to a base. The wires wrap around all four sides of the box the hockey puck device can be on top or a side. The wires tighten around the box. If a shoplifter pulls to hard on the wires or cuts them the built in sounder starts screaming a very loud alarm tone.

One of the great advantages of this type of bottle lock is that it also is reusable. The cashier simply uses an S3 key to release the spider wrap and it is ready to be reused. The big advantage of any type of bottle lock is that in the liquor bottle security world it get the high theft merchandise back out on the sales floor from behind the counter.

Alpha Security produces Spider Wraps in a number of types and sizes. There are one alarm”, two alarm or three alarm types. A one alarm used as a bottle lock will trigger your EAS system at the door. A two alarm will do that and self-alarm if the cable is cut or the housing is tampered with. A three alarm Spider Wrap used for bottle security will do all that plus it will self alarm and continue to alarm for 10 minutes after the shoplifter has left the store.

This is a big jump from the beginning with EASy Bottle, bottle locks. You have the tools available to take back your store from the shoplifters. Prior to EASy Bottle coming onto the market Retailers were very limited in their liquor bottle security choices.

If you own a liquor store you know all about shoplifting. But you may not know about all the liquor bottle security and bottle locks available. During good times or bad shoplifters will steal from you. Liquor stores also have another problem related to shoplifting. There are individuals that will enter the store, open a bottle of you best, drink some then put it back on the shelf. This issue is really no better that when a thief removes the merchandise from the store.

There are several things you should consider to combat these thefts. This is a multi stage solution.

First is greeting the customers when they enter the store. Well-established studies have shown that if impulse and some amateur shoplifters are greeted when they enter the store they won’t shoplift during that visit. This is because in their mind, they have been seen and no longer blend into the crowd. I believe that if possible they should be asked if you could assist them in finding something. This adds more interaction and clearly establishes that they have been noticed. Remember customers love attention shoplifters hate it.

Next we all know that you can be routinely in situations where you do not have a good employee to In this case you need items that physically secure your product. If you have a Checkpoint system at your doors then you have most of the problem solved. However, this may not be the best environment for just using Checkpoint labels

This is where the EASy Bottle bottle lock from Alpha Security comes in. This is one of the best forms of liquor bottle security available.

Shoplifters cleaning your liquor and wine out like its spring-cleaning or something? Are you loosing so much money or sanity that you wonder if it is worth it? Can’t hire any more people because your already thin margin will take too much of a hit?

First we need to figure out what your problem is. What type of shoplifting problem do you have? What is occurring in your store? Is your merchandise just disappearing? Is it being opened on site and consumed or poured off into another container? There are three levels of bottle security you should look at fully before you make your decisions that will fix the problems.

Bottle security using Checkpoint labels. Once you have a Checkpoint system in place at the doors you can consider this solution. You or your staff places a Checkpoint label on the bottles that are experiencing theft. If that bottle is concealed and the shoplifter tries to take it out of your store the Checkpoint system will detect it and alarm. Checkpoint labels come in many sizes and shapes. They are plain, have fake barcodes, are black and come in many sizes that can be printed on directly with the printer you already use to print pricing labels.

Bottle locks are the next step. The first one to consider is Steal Grip by Alpha Security. This hard tag wraps around the neck of the bottle and locks in place with a special locking mechanism. If the shoplifter attempts to steal the bottle the Checkpoint system at the doors goes into alarm. However, once a paying customer purchases the bottle the cashier simply removes the bottle lock with a special key. Bottle locks are then reused over and over.

The next level in Bottle locks is the EASy Bottle, EASy Guard and Crystal Guard also by Alpha Security. Let me also state that Alpha Security is the undisputed leader in liquor bottle security, bar none! These products such as EASy Bottle go over the top of the liquor or wine bottle. The bottle lock is locked into place and at that point a thief cannot open the bottle or steal it. If they attempt to take it out the door the Checkpoint system will also alarm. The difference between them is that EASy Bottle is the first generation. It is solid black. Crystal Guard comes in four sizes and has a clear acrylic top. You can see the cap and tax stamp. EASy Guard is the latest and greatest. It also has a clear top but its locking mechanism is even better for applying and removing. Both Crystal Guard and EASy Guard us her new S3 Detacher key from Alpha Security. This is great stuff!
