Stoli Vodka launches limited edition bottle in support of LGBTQ community

Stoli Vodka has announced the launch of a new Harvey Milk limited-edition bottle in the UK.

Designed to celebrate the life and legacy of Harvey Milk, the Stoli Harvey Milk bottle celebrates Stoli’s long-time history supporting the LGBTQ community in the UK, Europe and beyond.

The limited-edition bottle commemorates the work of Milk (who was the first openly gay elected official in California in 1977), and is the second in a series beginning with a first edition for the United States in 2018, originally celebrating 40 years since Milk was sworn into office in 1978.

Each bottle is individually numbered and the bottle’s label was inspired by a mural by Paraguayan artist Oz Montania featuring the famed Milk quote, “Hope will never be silent.” The initiative will helps raise funds for the Harvey Milk Foundation.

Stoli has worked with The Harvey Milk Foundation for several years, and this marks the second year they have worked in partnership on a commemorative bottle. For over a decade, the Harvey Milk Foundation’s work in the UK has included programming and talks on LGBTQ rights at dozens of primary and secondary schools through the Foundation’s partnership with UK LGBT History Month, Schools Out and the Proud Trust.

The bottle is also part of the Stoli Serves Pride programme, the brand platform dedicated to LGBTQ equality. Stoli Serves Pride celebrates individuals and organisations central to advancing diversity and originality within the LGBTQ community.

The bottle is now available in Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose stores around the UK.
