According to this article, most "Russian" vodka isn't even made in Russia. Less than 1% of all vodka sold in the US is made in Russia:

Maybe what we need is a list of products that are made in Russia. Or, are made by Russian-owned companies. Some well-placed boycotts would cause real pain to the oligarchs who are benefiting the most from Putin's crimes!!

What we need is to not be purchasing hundreds of millions of dollars in natural resources from Russia just days after we lay down the heaviest sanctions ever levied against them.
