Virginia ABC stores pulling Russian vodka from shelves
Feb 27, 2022 Updated 5 hrs ago
Virginia ABC stores are removing Russian-sourced vodka from their shelves in support of Ukraine, the agency announced Sunday.
The move follows a call by Gov. Glenn Youngkin this weekend for state agencies to review "procurement of any and all goods and services involving Russian companies."
In a Facebook post, the ABC said the following vodka brands will be removed immediately:
• Beluga
• Hammer & Sickle
• Imperia
• Mamont
• Organika
• Russian Standard
• ZYR
"We carry other spirits that have Russian-themed monikers and marketing such as Stolichnaya and Smirnoff, but these products are not produced in Russia and will not be removed from our shelves," the post said.
