Speedy keep. Drink is sold in more than 35 countries and this fact is referenced by a reliable source. __meco (talk) 19:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - both references are clearly from the manufacturer Sinebrychoff - possible merge to that page, unless someone can demonstrate some notable coverage in independent sources. Oranjblud (talk) 00:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this drink has been around for ages, Google returns several pages of results from independent sources (it even gets some mentions on books and scholar) and nothing in that article screems 'promotion' to me. Plus merging it to manufacturers article would be dubious move as it is oftopic and outside Finland they license the drink to other manufacturers ~~Xil (talk) 18:03, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - sources provided are barely more than press releases, and aren't good enough to prove this passes the notability test. Robofish (talk) 19:50, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
