Unfortunately, that is not going to happen as the EU just decided that vodka can be made from just about anything. There has to be a mention on the label if it is not made from grains or potatoes, but no restrictions.
The ruling was backed by traditional vodka powerhouses such as Britain, France, the Netherlands and Austria.
It seem to me that now I should be able to add a little bit of fizz to my dandelion wine and call it Champange Thalassa Blanc de Dandelions...
