A Scottish minister is lobbying the European Parliament to reject a proposal to define vodka as a drink made only from potato or grain.
Most vodka from central regions of Europe is made from beet, while some southern countries make it from grapes.
The plan to restrict the list of permitted ingredients comes from a group of northern European countries.
Scottish Deputy Enterprise Minister Allan Wilson said he wanted a definition that respected UK interests.
