“I would rather drink vodka labeled “for veterinary use only” before drinking Absolut”.

- Yeah why not.

That will only happen if the boycott includes all the products that the company makes, not just Absolut.

Thank you! How do you say it in Swedish? I don’t suppose I’ll be able to pronounce it, but let’s give it a try.

Actually, the only brand on either list that I buy with an regularity is Clos du Bois. But since New World wines cleaned up in the international wine festival of ‘05 and that the US let no room for anybody else across all categories in the ‘06 festival, I don’t supposed I need it.

- Sounds like you experience hell.

Come to Sweden when you have the time to.

Swedish women are out of this world.

We Viking sons deserve them and accept competition

if you are daring..

I don't normally drink Vodka, but there is now a brand new bottle of Skyy in my liquor cabinet...

I understand that the "Absolut World" is a comedic and satirical one (A picture of a woman smirking at a pregnant man), but some things should be off limits.

I am breathlessly waiting for the "Absolut World" commercial depicting mohamed as ( fill in the blank ________________________ )

The best vodka sold in Sweden is Kronvodka, but unfortunately it too is made by V&S.

A list of products marketed by V&S would be quite useful.

Has anyone seen such a list?

Whew!

I am so glad neither The Balvenie, nor the Macallan, LaPhroaig and Mortlach are on that list...
