I'm sitting here watching the news about Russia invading Ukraine......and I'm drinking Stolichnaya Vodka. It's actually very good, but I've just realised that by drinking this stuff I'm supporting Russia's economy (although I think it comes from Latvia). I know I could pour it down the drain, but I'm not that fanatical. I stopped drinking Scotch in a one man protest against Nicola Sturgeon's insistence on Scottish Independence and I think it's working. Now I have decided never to buy Vodka again and I implore all you wonderful HOLers to do the same (or any other Russian goods for that matter). I know that if we do this, Putin will give in and admit defeat.

If you ever need Vodka again, Adnams Vodka (yes, they do Vodka) beat Russian Vodkas to a award (or some awards), in recent years!

Don't worry, those who'd be lost without a White Russian are more than willing to return to their default Lager Top, or BabyCham backup.

OK, I get the drift, there are non Russian vodkas. In fact, my favourite Welsh distillery make a fine version branded Five. Very drinkable. But, I won't be deflected from my mission, to persuade you all to refuse purchasing Russian goods of any kind. Vodka being the most likely candidate!

Palace Old Geezer, You are right... the worldwide export version is made in Latvia, whereas the Ruskies have their own version made in Russia. The owner of the export version is anti Putin and lives in Luxembourg so I would keep on necking/ buying it with a clean conscience. You won't be contributing to Russians killing innocent children in Ukranian tower blocks by missile strikes.
Mine's a light and bitter. |

boycotting. A measure invented by the irish. An economic weapon used to put manners on obnoxious bullies. And the Russians ? ah but sure it's all Gas.
