Talk:Vodka war

REDUNDANCE AND PARTISAN
What is the need to repeat twice time : "Vodka made of waste"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Razafygomez (talk • contribs) 06:20, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Criticism: obvious protectionism
Bourbon, for instance, has to clear a quality bar including 3 years in the cask, so even cheap bourbon tastes pretty good, though may leave a lethal hangover. From what I have learned, vodka is distilled to rubbing alcohol, and then diluted. So technically, it can be diluted with distillate impurities (as is done with Canadian Crown Royal and Puerto Rican Bacardi) to taste like something other than vodka, and still be vodka. I cannot be the only person to notice this obvious trade protectionism, though, if it were up to me, WTO would be the name of a locked-down mental ward. --John Bessa (talk) 19:36, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Your lack of knowledge of alcoholic beverages is incredibly obvious. Calling Canadian whisky vodka with "distillate impurities" is so ridiculous and insulting as to simply require calling out. All spirit in Canadian whisky is aged at least three years, and is distilled below the 95% threshold of neutrality. Theres no codka in it at all. And bourbon actually has no minimum aging period (it does need at least 2 years, not 3, for it to be labelled "straight") If you don't know what you're talking about, don't speak.
 * Because it undermines your rather valid point about the obvious protectionism involved here. oknazevad (talk) 13:12, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
