Vodka

The origin of vodka is either Russian or Polish ...

Vodka is a distilled drink made from fermented grains such as wheat, corn, rye or barley. It is also sometimes made from potatoes, but this type of vodka is not as common as one might think. It is also possible to use other raw materials which provide starch or sugar such as beet for example.

This alcohol has been around for centuries and has a long history in Russia due to the country's colder climate. The word "vodka" was first mentioned in 1495 in Poland and this type of alcohol has been produced there since at least 1386.

Vodka became extremely popular in the 19th century. At the time the authorities saw vodka as a means of relaxing the Russian population in the evening after a long and hard day at work. The First World War and the terrible fighting conditions that we know were the occasion for a new acceleration in consumption and therefore in production. This movement has never wavered since the 20th century.

The production of vodka goes through 3 essential stages, fermentation, distillation (often several distillations) and rectification. The quality of a vodka depends on the quality of the raw materials, the purity of the water and the number of distillations. There are nearly 4000 brands of vodka, among the most famous, let's mention Mamont vodka which commemorates the discovery of a mammoth in Siberia, but also Chase vodka, an English vodka. We offer a multitude of brands including, Potocki, Exquisite, Serkova, Polugar, Gray Goose, Belvedere, Légende du Kremlin or Chopin. Special attention to the Vodka flavored with spices, herbs and dried fruits, Zoladkowa Gorzka.
