Four ethnic Russians are believed to have been the ringleaders, according to a report in The Sun.
All face five years in prison if convicted when the trial begins.
Prices of vodka in Russia are a third cheaper than in the ex-Soviet state of Estonia, which has been in the EU since May 2004.
Investigators are still trying to establish how much sold on the black market. (ANI)
