Virginia ABC has removed 7 Russian-sourced vodka brands from its store shelves. Russian-themed brands not produced in Russia like Stolichnaya and Smirnoff will not be removed, the agency said.
In a statement on Facebook Sunday, officials from Virginia ABC say they have identified seven Russian-sourced vodka brands in their inventory and have taken them off the shelves.
These are brands are:
- Belugo
- Hammer & Sickle
- Imperia
- Mamont
- Organika
- Russian Standard
- ZYR
“As the sole retailer of distilled spirits in Virginia, Virginia ABC remains committed to providing customers and licensees with a wide range of products,” said the post.
The move comes after Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s call to action against the Russian invasion.
