Dubious EB ref[edit]

I removed mentioning of "Sydnayaska Krueger" - absent in the ref cited. Could not confirm from independent sources. - Altenmann >t

Swedish pronunciation[edit]

… is incorrect. Short open [a] at the end like in other -a nouns. One source: https://svenska.se/tre/?sok=vodka&pz=2. 151.177.58.208 (talk) 19:40, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish vodka history missing[edit]

Finland being part of sweden and later part of russia belongs to the list of vodka countries. It was a common way for farms to make extra money by producing Viina (similar to brännvin) from potatoes. The finnish Market leader Finlandia Vodka came on 1970. Home production of Viina was actually forbidden on 1772 in Finland to save potatoes as food. And 1775 Swedish King Gustav III ordered state production to begin. I think finnish history is worthwhile a mention probably underneath the swedish history section as Finland was not an indipendent country at the time. 91.152.220.211 (talk) 15:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

théophile gautier in etymology section[edit]
