What is the symbolism of VICTORY GIN in 1984?

Question

HELP MEEE

Answer 1

Why choose something called Defeatist Gin or Death-in-a-Bottle? Image is everything and "Victory" makes it sound like you are supporting the war against tyranny by drinking it.

During World War II, Victory Gardens were common. People would grow their own vegetables to help ease the demands put on farming (manpower, fuel, transportation. and chemical pesticides). This was seen as patriotic and an effort to support the war against Nazism and tyranny.

Hope that helps.
