By the end of December they expect a double increase of volume of sales of vodka and other strong drinks vs other months. It is due to regular increase of sales before holidays as well as a significant increase of price to alcohol from the beginning of 2013, that's why customers will make a stock of vodka at the end of 2012, report RBK. However, according to the opinion of the director of the agency of the sector ZIFRRA Vadim Drobiz, increase of price will not provoke a vodka fever. As he says, real marginals made there choice for illegal market after previous increases of price, and for those who buy vodka legally, such a change as 3x50 rubles will not play an important role. Those, for whom this difference is valuable don't have enough money to make a stock of vodka. Source – www.alconews.ru
