With Gov. Abbott singling out restaurants and liquor stores in a Saturday Tweet, one of the most likely targets of voluntary product pull would be Russian vodka. One San Antonio liquor store says it's happy to comply.
“With regard to us being Russian, we are absolutely NOT a Russian company,” Damian McKinney, Stoli Group global CEO wrote in a letter. “We are a global organization with a significant portfolio of spirits and wine brands from around the world, with Stoli’s European Global HQ based in Luxembourg. Stoli Premium and Elit are manufactured and bottled in Riga, Latvia.”“Stoli Group stands for peace in Europe and in solidarity with the Ukrainian people #LiberateUkraine.
How many will follow Abbott’s request is yet to be seen. KSAT 12 visited six liquor stores on Saturday evening and Hargrove’s was the only one to go on the record with that stance.Well, what else are we going to do? I’m a little old to be taking up arms,” he quipped. “We all have to do what we can do. And that’s all we can do, but we can do that.
