During the first half of 2022, imports of strong alcoholic beverages to the Russian Federation fell by almost 35%, to 32.65 million liters, as a result of sanctions. This is reported by the Russian media, citing market participants.
Many global companies, such as Bacardi (Dewar's, William Lawson's) and Pernod Ricard (Chivas Regal, Jameson, Absolut, Ararat) have already suspended sales of their products or announced withdrawal from Russia.
