According to US AFT regulations...

(1) ``Vodka'' is neutral spirits so distilled, or so treated after 
distillation with charcoal or other materials, as to be without 
distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color.


(c) Class 3; gin. ``Gin'' is a product obtained by original 
distillation from mash, or by redistillation of distilled spirits, or by 
mixing neutral spirits, with or over juniper berries and other 
aromatics, or with or over extracts derived from infusions, 
percolations, or maceration of such materials, and includes mixtures of 
gin and neutral spirits. It shall derive its main characteristic flavor 
from juniper berries and be bottled at not less than 80 deg. proof. Gin 
produced exclusively by original distillation or by redistillation may 
be further designated as ``distilled''. ``Dry gin'' (London dry gin), 
``Geneva gin'' (Hollands gin), and ``Old Tom gin'' (Tom gin) are types 
of gin known under such designations.


You win.
