G8, the Vodka

Just when I think I have seen every possible permutation of vodka a new once surfaces. This one doesn't promise pure water or organic grains instead it is designed to attract those who are in St. Petersburg, Russia for this year's G8 summit. The summit, which starts next week is an annual convention of eight world powers. Moscow Times reports that the  "Spetszakaz: G8" vodka, that's "Special Order: G8 "to English speakers is being sold in Russia and that foreign delegations will be presented with the vodka. The vodka is far from official despite the many stamps festooning the label. G8 is not a trademarked brand so anyone is free to use it. One official beverage that did make the cut is a G8 juice. The vodka is meant more as a novelty item than a serious drinker's tipple and has a signature from the fictitious "People's Commissar V.O. Bespokhmelnykh"  whose name translates out to "Hangover-Proof."
