I am curious what the goal is. The first is pretty, but stills are notoriously easy to replace and bulk grain alcohol is cheap. Are they producing something other than vodka here?

Distilleries commonly produce a variety of alcohols, not just ethanol for human consumption. First ones that come in mind are methanol for antifreeze solutions and isopropyl alcohol for sanitizing and industrial solvents.

Cutting the vodka production is a nice bonus hit to the morale, but damaging the supply lines of military production is most likely the main goal here.
