No More Russian Vodka At Woodmans: Grocery Store Stops Sales Amid Ukraine Invasion

WAUKESHA, WI — The Woodman's supermarket in Waukesha announced on Tuesday that it will pause Russian liquor sales.

"Woodman's is discontinuing Russian vodka. Visit the store for more information," the store said in its Facebook page. Woodman's locations in Oak Creek and Menomonee Falls have also announced they would pull Russian vodka from its shelves.

The store cited its support for Ukraine after Russia hatched an attack on the Eastern European nation.

Total Wine & More announced it would remove Russian-made goods from its shelves on Monday. The retailer cited its support for Ukrainian people and removed Russian vodka from its stores in Glendale, Brookfield and Greenfield.

Other retailers, U.S. lawmakers and governors have called for the ban of Russian liquor in the U.S. However, only around 1.2 percent of vodka imported into the U.S. comes from Russia, data from the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States showed.
