[edit]

Please remove the italics from the term “freezer chilled” in the lead; there does not appear to be any reason per MOS:ITALICS to use it here. 151.132.206.250 (talk) 20:33, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish vodka history missing

[edit]

Finland being part of sweden and later part of russia belongs to the list of vodka countries. It was a common way for farms to make extra money by producing Viina (similar to brännvin) from potatoes. The finnish Market leader Finlandia Vodka came on 1970. Home production of Viina was actually forbidden on 1772 in Finland to save potatoes as food. And 1775 Swedish King Gustav III ordered state production to begin. I think finnish history is worthwhile a mention probably underneath the swedish history section as Finland was not an indipendent country at the time. 91.152.220.211 (talk) 15:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To the "Boycott" section, the following ref can be added to show that a similar removal from the shelves of major supermarkets has happened in the United Kingdom: https://drinksretailingnews.co.uk/retailers-remove-russian-standard-vodka-from-shelves/ 155.190.13.13 (talk) 05:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
