NEWS 12 EXCLUSIVE: ‘He drove into the water.’ Car drives off dock in Patchogue; News 12 crew helps in the rescue
306ds agoSome liquor stores in Brooklyn are pulling Russian vodka from their shelves in solidarity with Ukraine.
The owner of Brooklyn Estate Fine Liquor and Wine on Avenue L tells News 12 this is all in support of the people in Ukraine. If a customer comes in specifically for a Russian brand, he says he will refer them to domestic products or vodka from other European countries instead.
This isn’t just happening in the United States. According to the Canadian press, Canada’s finance minister has instructed the Liquor Control Board to order stores to remove all Russian alcoholic products.
The Brooklyn Estate Fine Liquor and Wine says its distributor started offering Russian products at discounted prices. Popular brands like Belvedere Vodka have been pulled from their shelves.
