WAR in Europe – Over Vodka

European nations fight over what vodka is (by AP on Yahoo News)


“Rival groups fight for dominance in a booming world vodka market worth around $12 billion in annual sales…

Finland is aligned with Poland, Sweden and other traditional vodka producers around the Baltic Sea, who want the European Union to insist that only spirits made with traditional ingredients – barley grain and potato – should be allowed to carry the vodka label.

Pitched against them is a group led by Britain, the Netherlands, France and Austria – and backed by London-based multinational drinks producer Diageo – which take a more relaxed view of what can go into vodka, for example grapes, beets or citrus fruit

This is the first war with Britain, France and Austria on the same side….

    Zoli my friend – you’ve been away faaaaaaaar toooooo long. Don’t you know the shape of bananas is regulated by the EU? Do you know the reason IFRS is in such a mess is because of special accounting valuations for German sewers? Or that the French don’t give a shit about transparency as long as the accounts show them how much tax they can collect? Let’s not do Italy where the recent past premier Berlusconi is now up before the legal headmaster for fraud.

    Be thankful you live where you do!
