i thought only absinthe was illegal until recently, some place in the bay area now makes it. It was illegal because people started neglecting buying wine since all they wanted was absinthe...

but in all seriousness, I believe the ethanol that comes from the vodka helps reduce nitrates by building up a huge nitrate reducing bacteria. The bacteria multiply like crazy with ethanol. The amount is very little, and you'll definitely need to read the exact dosage amounts.
