Friends, sober Russian alcohol lobbyists, continue to actively push a bill on the remote sale of alcohol. The second reading of the bill on the sale of alcohol through the Russian post already on November 16!
The age verification in the options offered does not work, and the most vulnerable category here is teenagers. Couriers and rural postal workers checking the buyer's age seem unconvincing.
Selling alcohol through a marketplace is not immediately proposed, but the obstacles to it are becoming, to say the least, shaky and will be easily removed in the lobbyists' next legislative initiative, which is already easy to predict.
The bill concerns not only Russian wines, but also wines made from grapes grown in the EAEU countries - that is, in fact, it will not even support the Russian producer, but the vineyard owners in the allied countries, where the raw materials (due to the climate conditions and labor market characteristics) are much cheaper. Maybe they will just bring concentrates here.
We write our objection here.
