UK supermarkets say ‘nyet’ to Russian vodka

Sainsbury’s, Aldi, Asda and Waitrose have all announced they will axe Russian products amid the war in Ukraine. This will include Russian vodka.

According to the BBC, Sainsbury’s will remove Russian Standard vodka and from its shelves. Waitrose, which is part of the John Lewis Partnership, will no longer sell Russian vodka either.

Asda’s announcement will apply to about 100 products – mostly spirits, but also includes fish and some sweets.

The supermarkets follow moves from the likes of Morrisons and Co-op, which said on Thursday that they would withdraw Russian-made vodka from sale.
