I looked at the article for Campari.

The average Wikipedia enjoyer might expect the Critics section to be about critique of the flavor or ingredients; or that, at least, a critic might be mentioned. The ranking of this section as the second thing about Campari, right after History but before Use, indicates the importance of knowing about these Critics.

As of December 2024, Campari Group continues to operate in Russia. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Campari Group announced the suspension of all investments in Russia, including advertising and promotional activities, and scaled down operations to the minimum necessary to pay its local staff. Despite these measures, Campari's products remain available in the Russian market.[5] In August 2023, reports indicated that Campari planned to introduce a new aperitif, Sarti Rosa, in Russia, suggesting a potential expansion of its product offerings in the country.[6][7]

The actually valid critique of Campari is that it's not vegan-friendly, iirc

Is it the red color?

They use gelatin to clarify it

Weird. It seems like there are easier vegan solutions.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't get it either. I work in food and my chefs have fucking love when I can make something vegan for the same effect cause it's always cheaper.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

not only is it cheaper but it usually contains fewer allergens, is more accessible to people, and is healthier.

Those are bonuses but cheaper is what makes the sale

Many wine-based alcohols are non-vegan due to animal products being used for clarification. As far as I understand, it's often "cheaper" in the same sense that HFCS is cheaper to use in place of sugar in food - subsidies make a shitty side product viable instead of better alternatives.

I brew beer as a hobby and my go-to clarifier is irish moss, a type of kelp, and it works great.
