This is terrible. My lupins are in absolute tatters. Has anyone
tried using copper wire (e.g. from domestic cables) as a slug
& snail barrier? I want to put something around the pots, you
see, but don't want to buy "slug tape" at a tenner for 4m!!
Would wire, rather than tape, work?

Yes

Been there, done that, got the tee shirt when I did our raised beds with
16mm single strand, joined them all together and grounded them :-))

Cathodic Protection?
Potential between dis-similar metals
Copper to Ground?

Don't know, but it worked :-))
