VODKA

04.05.2010
Vodka is a distilled liquor, one of the worlds most popular liquors, is composed solely of water and ethanol with possible traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made from any one of these fermented substances: grain, rye, wheat, potatoes, grapes, rice, or sugar beet molasses. Vodkas alcoholic content usually ranges between 35 to 50 percent by volume.
The name VODKA is a diminutive form of the slavic word voda (water), interpreted as little water.
Books write that Vodka originated in Russia during the 14th century, but exact origins of vodka cannot be traced definitively. It is believed to have originated in the grain-growing region that now embraces Poland, western Russia, Belarus, Lithuania, Ukraine. It also has a long tradition in Scandinavia.
Vodka is now one of the worlds most popular spirits. Vodka may be distilled from any starch/sugar-rich plant matter; most vodka today is produced from grains such as sorghum, corn, rye or wheat. Among grain vodkas, rye and wheat vodkas are generally considered superior. Apart from the alcoholic content, vodkas may be classified into two main groups: clear vodkas and flavored vodkas.
