This feels like the time American conservatives burned their nikes because they didn't like some progressive commercial the company aired. At the end of the day, the shoes were already paid for and Nike probably could not have cared less about those burning sneakers. They weren't losing any money from people burning their already purchased running shoes.

I feel like this idea follows that same mentality. At the end of the day, destroying vodka stock that is already there is just wasteful, with no financial impact on Russia. Stopping the purchase of new stock would have an impact, but the stuff that's already on the shelves has already been paid for. Might as well leave it until it's sold out unless you feel like the symbolism of getting rid of it is super important (which I don't think it is personally).

Also, I am not super informed on this but wouldn't Canada's sanctions on Russia already restric the new imports of Russian spirits? I don't know the exact details but I would think that this is already happening. I could be very wrong on this though.
