What! No vodka? Pause in production has Russians uneasy
Article Abstract:
All vodka and alcoholic beverage distilleries have ground to a halt in Russia due to a bureaucratic snafu. New taxation legislation, in a move to increase state control of the industry, was introduced last year that requires liquor bottles to be given a new excise stamp label to prove taxes have been paid. The labels were printed but were not distributed.
