"Dump Russian Vodka"

Russian anti-gay laws prompt a campaign to boycott Russian vodka.

The laws fit a bigger, historical pattern. "This is part of a concentrated effort by the Russian authorities to create a new political cleavage between the conservative, pro-Putin majority and the more liberal, pro-Western minority."
 
Death's Door and Belvedere are excellent alternatives.
