Which brands are likely to be removed?
Are there any collectible bottles that are likely to be good investments?

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Myself, I recommend filling the bottles with ammonia or ammonia-based cleaners and throwing those on the engine compartments of the Russian vehicles. The ammonia cannot be filtered and when it enters the crew compartment the crew will have to flee.

Is this true? Anyone? And, is it the "Who is going to put a cat on the bell?" scenario?

People just assumed that Smirnoff was Russian Vodka?... Dummkopfs!

Absolut-ly!....................

These will be the most collectible bottles to come out of this conflict:

And Stoli is made in Latvia these days, so don’t boycott our Baltic buddies by mistake.

Travis is probably the best known person here to confirm what I posted.

This is on the order of “Freedom Fries” back in 2003.

I always thought Tito’s was way over rated. Don’t drink anymore so maybe they have changed. Always thought for the price Smirnoff was the best.

The ironic part is Stolichnaya is not made in Russia, it’s made in Latvia and the HQ for Stolichnaya is in Luxembourg. Smirnoff is not made in Russia either.

Removed to where?

[cotton1706]

Not a problem if you drink bourbon (always American).

[newnhdad]

I still remember the hangover from that rotgut..

[dainbramaged]

Cognac, bourbon, McNaughton’s, oh yes. Vodka, nyet - tastes like paint thinner.

[gundog]

You make a good point. Still, Dan Aykroyd’s vodka bottles would make neat Molotov cocktails.

[Ancient Man]

Stoli is made in Latvia.

[butlerweave]

Does Dan Aykroyd still make that Crystal Head Vodka ?

[The Louiswu]

Don’t drink, don’t care. Flush it all is what I say. Oh and do all the booze that comes from China as well.

[The Great RJ]

Our local grocery chain was pulling bottles of Karkov vodka off the shelf until someone realized it was actually made in Minnesota. Given the leftist politics in this state, I wouldn’t be surprised if more than a few communists are involved in its manufacture.

[gr8eman]

That’s what I’ve been saying...btw...most of the “russian” vodka sold here is made in Kentucky or Canada.

Belvedere is Rye Vodka and certified kosher. One of the best!
