Russian Standard, the only Russian-made vodka for sale at Glendale LCBO, was pulled from the shelves in response to the Russian war on Ukraine.

Following orders from the Ontario government, the local liquor store pulled its only Russian vodka brand—Russian Standard—off the shelf, in response to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
