But the venues receiving the vodka are most definitely selling it, proven by the fact that it ended up included in bottle service.

If it was a donation to an individual, you could get away with ignoring the rules, but they're giving vodka away to businesses, knowing that the business likely intends on selling it.

I think it's OK.

There's already a ton of businesses who sell custom wine labels for you to use to relabel your own wine. The main customers of these companies are businesses who use them as gifts to their customers, as a form of marketing/advertising.

Crucial distinction: "gifts."

Wine is regulated differently.

I would like to reiterate that these were all house and loft parties - our events product was all about underground events.
