The recently-published proposed legislation suggests that the right to use the name "Polska Wódka" ("Polish vodka") will be granted only to those producers in Poland that use domestically grown rye, wheat, barley, oats or potatoes, Puls Biznesu reports.

So no corn or triticale ("pszenżyto").

Right! End to the cheaters!

Hoping "Polska Wódka/Polish Vodka" will become a protected trademark, such as Miód Pitny already is?

Mmm. Reading between the lines - is this a concession to the PSL ahead of the election?

It might be, but... Isn't Poland the top triticale producer?
According to wikipedia: "The primary producers of triticale are Poland, Germany, France, Belarus and Australia."
