	Stolichnaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stolichnaya (Russian столичная: "capital (vodka)") is a Russian vodka produced from winter wheat in Russia's oldest distillery, using what the company says are pure glacial waters.
		Stolichnaya was first created in 1953 at the Cristall Distillery in Moscow.
		Stolichnaya is now utilizing a short message service based marketing utility to market their new products.

		Stolichnaya is certainly one of the smoothest beverages of its kind.
		With Stolichnaya it is easy to do a simple half-and-half mixture with any of the usual juices like orange, grapefruit, cranberry, or tomato.
		While Stolichnaya is one of the most pleasant vodkas readily available throughout the world, it is still vodka.

	The St. Petersburg Times - Business - State Calls Shots In Stolichnaya Dispute
		It is also asking Western distributors to boycott Soyuzplodimport (SPI), the private company that bought the rights to Stolichnaya and 42 other vodka brands in 1997 and, instead, buy from Soyuzplodoimport, the former Soviet vodka monopoly that was recreated this year to manage the brands the government has retaken, or intends to retake, from SPI.
		The government has argued that Stolichnaya made in Riga cannot be called "Genuine Russian Vodka," as the label claims, for geographical reasons.
		SPI head Vladimir Loginov, a former deputy agriculture minister, said last week that, as long as Stolichnaya is being made in Latvia, he expects global sales to fall, and that letters courting foreign distributors had been dispatched.

	Federal State Enterprise "Soyuzplodoimport" - press releases
		The decision is based on the fact that "Stolichnaya" Cyrillic belonging to S.P.I. Group is similar to the degree of confusion to the brand Stolichnaya, that haves an earlier registration and belongs to the state represented by the Federal state-owned enterprise "Soyuzplodoimport".
		Currently the trade marks Moskovskaya and Stolichnaya belong to the Russian Federation and are held in trust by the Russian Federal State-owned enterprise (FKP) ''Soyuzplodoimport''.
		Registration of this label was cancelled by the decision of the Rospatent Appellate Chamber on November 5, 2002, in connection with the objection of the Ministry of Agriculture of RF.

		Stolichnaya Cristall was once one of the few Russian products with a well-known brand name in the West, bringing a tidy profit for PepsiCo and Russian distillers.
		Moscow Kristall knew it could not use the name Stolichnaya: That was the name of a vodka that was produced by a number of distilleries across the Soviet Union, and the lucrative trademark had been inherited by Soyuzplodimport.
		"Stolichnaya Cristall has a very strong and positive image in the U.S. because of the quality of the vodka and the marketing we did around it," said Jerry Ciraulo, head of Pepsi's vodka distributing.

		I was sold before I even took a sip, just the mouth-watering aroma wafting from the bottle was enough to tell me that I had been wrong, that flavored vodka has earned its place in the liquor cabinet of honor...
		Stolichnaya has been working hard for years to uphold that tradition, and they're certainly succeeded...
		Bottle design is an important marketing strategy in the premium and super-premium vodka markets, and flavored Stolichnayas are famous for their attractive but conservative design.

		I love vodka, and it is precisely this love of Russia's water of life that tempers my taste for Stolichnaya specifically.
		In the few years that I've actively consumed vodka with the passion necessary to form firm opinions regarding specific brands (also the passion that complements my now keen ability to discern between properties of each brand with my eyes closed), I've tasted nearly all there is of the stuff to taste.

		Legal documents filed by Allied Domecq, and their vodka producer SPI, in U.S. Federal Court state that its Stolichnaya vodka is produced in Russia and then shipped in bulk into Latvia, a neighboring country, where it is filtered, bottled and labeled as Stolichnaya vodka.

	Russia's Vodka Wars
		SPI's PR firm, Burson-Marsteller, posits this commercial conflict as a classic case of the violation of the property rights of hapless foreign shareholders by the avaricious and ruthless functionaries of an unreformed evil empire.
		The brand Stolichnaya, as well as 42 others, were privatized in 1992.
		"Stolichnaya" (nicknamed "Stoli" in the States) sells 1 million 12-bottle cases a year in the USA (compared to Absolut's 3 million cases).

	Vodka Wars Spill Into U.S. - Money
		Russian Standard "maintains that Stolichnaya brand vodka is not authentically Russian, and believes that Stolichnaya's marketing messages are inaccurate and misleading to vodka consumers," the statement said.
		Yet the Stolichnaya on sale in the U.S. continues to be labelled as "genuine Russian vodka." S.P.I. and Allied Domecq testified in the U.S. court that the vodka continues to be produced in Russia, at distilleries in Kaliningrad and Tambov.
		Pernod Ricard is in the awkward position of having to tell the U.S. court that Stolichnaya is being produced in Russia, while at the same time, to avoid confiscation of Stolichnaya in Russia, its partner S.P.I. has been telling the Russian authorities exactly the opposite.

	Stolichnaya ban spreads to Germany
		A spokeswoman for the Hamburg district court told the Moscow Times that the injunction forbidding sales by Simex, SPI's distributor in Germany, was issued by the court's trade chamber after upholding a complaint filed by Dovgan GmbH, a Hamburg-based importer of Russian food and drink products.
		SPI says that it has no doubt who is behind the suit - Soyuzplodoimport, formerly the Soviet Union's food and drink import-export agency — an allegation that has been flatly denied by Soyuzplodoimport.
		Although Loginov's Soyuzplodoimport last week awarded Ost-Alko a licence to produce up to 880,000 decalitres of Stolichnaya and Moskovskaya, Kovalyov laughed at the suggestion that his company would start importing Ost-Alko's version of the vodkas.
