I’m confused by the wording - they call it “fake vodka” and “fake tobacco”, but it looks like it’s real vodka/tobacco, with fake packaging.

I’m flummoxed about that too.

Written by a fake illiterate reporter. Of course the vodka was real vodka and good otherwise they could not have sold so much

Odd word choice, but I think the writer was referring to the fact that the distillery was bottling and passing their vodka off as other brand names - Smirnoff, Glen, etc.

I’m guessing the tobacco was “fake” for the same reasons - using someone else’s brand name.
