PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregon liquor stores are no longer selling Russian-made vodka but there are other options – such as Ukrainian vodka – available in the state.
After Oregon’s liquor authority ordered the stores to pull Russian-made vodka from the shelves due to the Russia-Ukraine crisis, KOIN 6 News found three places in Oregon offering a Ukrainian alternative, using OLCC’s liquor search website.
Unfortunately, the Ukrainian vodka products are not available in the Portland metro area, but it might be worth a drive to get them.
