Finnish vodka history missing

Finland being part of sweden and later part of russia belongs to the list of vodka countries. It was a common way for farms to make extra money by producing Viina (similar to brännvin) from potatoes. The finnish Market leader Finlandia Vodka came on 1970. Home production of Viina was actually forbidden on 1772 in Finland to save potatoes as food. And 1775 Swedish King Gustav III ordered state production to begin. I think finnish history is worthwhile a mention probably underneath the swedish history section as Finland was not an indipendent country at the time. 91.152.220.211 (talk) 15:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

théophile gautier in etymology section

the date given for his "grain liquor" comment is given in the text, and the reference, as 1800 - he was born in 1811, and the correct year is 1867. 88.98.93.176 (talk) 12:00, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To the "Boycott" section, the following ref can be added to show that a similar removal from the shelves of major supermarkets has happened in the United Kingdom: https://drinksretailingnews.co.uk/retailers-remove-russian-standard-vodka-from-shelves/ 155.190.13.13 (talk) 05:43, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-The very first reference (right under the opening image) to "Oxford Dictionaries" website actually states that vodka's place of origin is Russia. However it says Poland in the article. Since subject's place of origin is an ongoing debate we should probably remove "place of origin" information from the top of the article or change it to Russia (since that's what reference says).  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/5.3.202.224|5.3.202.224]] ([[User talk:5.3.202.224#top|talk]]) 21:59, 28 February 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

-When you try to label editings as something, look better at your actions first and than talk again. When you are on Wikipedia and have respect to culture, you better be more objective and don't try to push hard into a corner which represents only a fragment of many.
-Anyone who tries here to make Russia's role smaller as it is, clearly ignores Russia's connection to the vodka brand and the perception worldwide. In fact you trie to manipulate the global perception and try to unlink it from Russia more to the west (Poland). And it's done here in a very exaggerated way which is not tolerable. If you do not like the editings, then you should become more sensitive and give the theme more respect.--[[Special:Contributions/85.212.110.65|85.212.110.65]] ([[User talk:85.212.110.65|talk]]) 08:10, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
-:I'd advise you to actually read the article references and the talk page archives. Maybe you'd be surprised to find out what you thought you knew is actually wrong. I know I was when I read them. Wikipedia is not here to reinforce your preconceptions. PS, I don't like vodka anyway. I'm a bourbon guy. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad|talk]]) 20:36, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
+== théophile gautier in etymology section ==
-so your viewpoint is that this article should be not really objective, but should be viewed from a western viewpoint ? that's how it sounds to me ! why ? because it's a attempt to minimize Russias role in vodka history and also the manipulation of worldwide actual perception. it's also not only about sources. btw there are many different sources and they are even proof that this article is even less objective - keyword: medicine and another term for alcohol in poland, but that's another point. but now let's talk about more than sources. the picture with Russian vodka for example should be placed very high considering Russias role in vodka popularization and that has nothing to do with sources at all.

-i think the solution could be to make two different articles then, one for polish vodka ( btw present vodka was not called vodka back then in poland ) and one Russian vodka. this article takes the old russian term for alcohol - vodka - but places another claimant in a exaggerated way on the top. when you really think that this is ok, then i think you don't understand this subject and also the picture behind it. people are very aware of such things. in general the western world and wikipedia has a long way to go to even understand that there exist other viewpoints in the world, in Russia, in Islam, in Asia. what i've seen in behavior is that this article is not even ready to make it even a little more objectively. just wow about that. sharing means being more modest --[[Special:Contributions/85.212.208.174|85.212.208.174]] ([[User talk:85.212.208.174|talk]]) 12:40, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

+To the "Boycott" section, the following ref can be added to show that a similar removal from the shelves of major supermarkets has happened in the United Kingdom:
-:I would argue that that would be trivial, as distilled spirits are universally (and legally) defined in terms of alcohol by volume. The percentage by weight doesn't factor into it. It might be interesting to know, but it's not a chemistry article, so it's not important enough to include. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad|talk]]) 16:44, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
