Stoli has two distilleries. The Stoli that comes to the US and Canada is made in Latvia. The other plant is in Russia and it sells to the rest of the world.

They already PAID for the vodka so what does it matter? Now they’ll have to buy more to do it again next week.

Vodka they’ve already bought.
Makes amazingly good sense to me, pouring profits into the sewer.

I think the gays are over-reacting. The Russians are simply putting a minor limitation on their right to be fabulous in public.
To: Freelance Warrior
Given how much homosexuals drink, probably a smart PR move for the bar owner.s
