I have never before heard of pellets which do not work. Are they actually
metaldehyde pellets, or are they some substitute?

Go out at night with a torch and a bucket, especially after rain.

Collect the offending beasts in the bucket and sprinkle liberally with salt.

Repeat this nightly until the frosts.

Start again in Spring.

Encourage predators - it's a major undertaking and means you must stop using
poisons but it's worth it. In the mean-time, the torch and bucket routine -
as suggested by Alan Gould - will yield splendid results.

Don't you mean Whisky? I've heard of a 'slug of whisky' but not of wine.
