How to really pour vodka

News item:

Police have smashed a smuggling operation that used a pipeline to pump vodka from Russia to Estonia. The mile-long pipe saved smugglers a fortune in duty.

Estonian officials said 11 suspects had been charged after a four-year wrangle with Russia. They claim four Russians were the ringleaders.

Prices of vodka in Russia are a third cheaper than in Estonia, which has been in the European Union since May 2004.
