在世界上最畅销的烈酒中，伏特加位列第二，仅次于威士忌。不算私酒，每年有超过1.26亿箱被购买。就力量而言，她没有对手。例如，波兰品牌Wratislavia Spirytus含有96%的酒精。

伏特加是什么？

简单来说，伏特加就是从食品原料中获得的稀释酒精。今天，伏特加在世界各地生产和消费，并被用于各种鸡尾酒和混合饮料中。由于其相对中性的味道和香味，伏特加也常用作调味品种和泡制的基础酒。然而，适量饮用伏特加很重要，因为过量饮用会对健康产生不利影响。

每个国家对饮料的基本成分都有自己的要求。在乌克兰，酒精是从谷物中蒸馏出来的。除了谷物，白俄罗斯也用土豆，而波兰和德国只用土豆。在其他欧盟国家和美国，任何蔬菜原料都是允许的。例如，在明尼苏达州，你可以尝试甜菜酒精。

原材料的选择影响口味：

小麦使饮料变得柔和，有面包和柑橘的余味。

大麦给人一种苹果味的饱腹感。

玉米——甜味和花香。

黑麦是辛辣的，有一点蔬菜的味道。

土豆增加了油性和泥土的味道。

对饮料浓度的要求也因原料而异。在独联体国家，这一比例为40-45%。这里有指标为50-56%的强化伏特加的概念。在欧盟，这个数字从37.5%开始，没有最终的限制。这使得Wratislavia Spirytus无法繁殖马铃薯和谷物原料。

烹饪过程大致如下：

当纯酒精从杂质中分离出来时，发酵的酒基进行精馏或蒸馏。经过反复蒸发和冷凝，得到了浓度高达96%的产品。

酒精与预先准备好的水混合。

过滤所得的组合物。

加入调味酒（加入香草、胡椒、蜂蜜和黑麦面包)。

最后，完全完成的产品再次过滤并装瓶。

理想情况下，纯酒精和水混合时，会产生一种微甜的物质，喝起来很软。伏特加中余味、苦味和刺激性气味的存在取决于以下因素：

清洁的程度和方法。

添加调味酒精。

品味判断一个品牌的好坏。每个制造商都有获取酒精、净化水和水-酒精混合物的秘密。

酒精

精馏酒精有五种。它们都具有96.3%的浓度，但在甲醇、酯、游离酸和杂醇油的杂质数量上有所不同。杂质会损害味道，对健康有害。

最"污染"的是纯度最高的酒精。以此为基础，他们制造廉价伏特加。高级饮料是由勒克斯和阿尔法酒精制成的。第一种由谷物和土豆制成，第二种仅由谷物制成，并经过彻底清洗。阿尔法是最好品牌的一部分。在中等价位的类别中，产品由额外的酒精制成。

水

混合水是从天然水源或普通过滤水获得的。第二种叫做"纠正"或"特别准备"

第一种选择被添加到高级饮料中。山泉和井水的成分含有钙和镁盐，可以改善口感。有时伏特加中会加入特殊的水，比天然水要好。然后产品就变成超溢价了。例如，冰山伏特加是由酒精和融化的冰山制成的，而42以下是由新西兰开采的地球上最纯净的水制成的。

一些制造商从井里取水，通过石英砂过滤，获得尽可能纯净的液体。这也影响了产品的质量。

过滤

当酒精和水混合时，不健康的杂质再次形成。它们通过过滤被去除。沙过滤器、活性炭、用银、珍珠和牛奶加工——每个制造商选择他们的选项。

比如通过煤炭时形成少量乙醚，去除了刺鼻的酒精味。如果在煤颗粒表面加入少量的银，反应的活性就会增加。牛奶还会结合和沉淀不需要的杂质。

纯化程度越高，产品的味道越柔和。

总结：优质伏特加是由阿尔法和力士酒精制成的产品，用天然水稀释，最大限度过滤。

绝对（瑞典)

这种蒸馏酒名列前三，在120个国家销售。曾经，将这家国有制造商出售给保乐力加(保乐力加)使其有可能偿还该国的外债。第一种饮料出现在19世纪末，以连续多次蒸馏而闻名。

ts. The label depicts a very ancient St. Mary’s Church located in Krakow. This stunning place of truly royal beauty has absorbed the city’s spirit.

Laplandia (Finland)

Real northern vodka is not just premium but super-premium class. The reindeer and the golden sun on the logo confirm this assessment. The idea for creation was the purity and virginity of Finnish nature. It contains water from a lake that undergoes natural purification through layers of thousand-year-old sands. Alcohol is obtained from wheat grown by organic family farms. The wort goes through a sevenfold rectification cycle. After mixing, the drink is infused for a month and filtered with cartridge filters.

Her modern recipe was introduced in 1997 and 10 years later recognized as one of the best in the world. In the line, there are varieties of vodka, where honey with herbs or with pepper. The alcohol is filtered through birch charcoal. The unusual design of the embossed bottle and the logo in the form of a wing indicate the originality, lightness of the drink, and the mild taste characteristic of products with honey.

The bottle’s design with snowflakes and snow landscapes indicates the drink’s production in Finland’s cold lands. It complements the impression of a logo with a compass and the signature “Northern Cold.”

The distillation is based on barley alcohol from six-core grain varieties. Long-term rectification gives up to 200 cleanings. Water is taken from a glacial spring in a remote Finnish village. The drink gets a very light barley flavor with a hint of licorice.

Pincer Shanghai Strength (Scotland)

The strongest drink at almost 89 degrees. The Scots produce it for the Chinese market. Of course, you can not drink it undiluted. The black design of the logo is just about this, and the pattern with dried thistle indicates the use of the plant extract in the composition.

Purity (Sweden)

Since its introduction in 2007, the drink has received more than 200 awards. What is so special about PURITY vodka? First, organic. Alcohol is produced from raw materials grown without the use of chemicals. Secondly, distillation on special equipment makes the taste of the product special.

The Swedish blend master Thomas Kuuttanen worked on the development of the technology. He founded a distillery based on an old castle near a healing spring and took water for production from its artesian wells.

Wheat-barley alcohol is distilled in copper and gold distillation columns up to 51 times. The process is slow and takes up to 3 days, forming a rich aftertaste. The logo of multi-layered letters speaks about this process. After mixing alcohol with water, the sorting is not filtered since both components are pure. The final mixture is slightly viscous and sweetish.

The brand offers three products with different degrees of distillation. It is recommended to use diluted with pure water and with the addition of zest or juices.

Rain (USA)

The unique shape of the teardrop bottle immediately draws attention to the American product. The logo with drops and water inscription completes the impression of crystal clearness and transparency.

The corn base, characteristic of strong drinks in the United States, is present in RAIN vodka. Alcohol passes sevenfold distillation, which eliminates the taste of alcohol as much as possible. The sorting is filtered with coal dust and diamonds, achieving perfect purity.

Reyka (Iceland)

The distillery that produces vodka belongs to the well-known producer of Scotch whiskey – William Grant. The company’s products are always unusual, and REYKA is one of them.

A rich, versatile taste with smoky notes of anise flavor from tarragon characterizes the Icelandic product. The name fits perfectly. REYKA means smoke. Water for the product is extracted near an active volcano. Hence, the smoke from the hot springs’ evaporation, the smell of smokiness, and the constant hanging in the air not far from the distillery. Water, filtered through lava, acquires a useful composition and is purified.

Alcohol is made from Scottish barley and wheat grains. Distillation takes place in a copper apparatus of a special design. This is followed by filtration through crushed lava. After mixing with water, vodka is bottled. The result is unique alcohol, and gastronomic tourists do not pass by without tasting it.

The drink’s logo is simple and clean, as are the ingredients.

Russian Standard (Russia)

Water from the sources of Lake Ladoga and winter wheat put the drink on par with most premium alcohol. And four filtrations and 2nd purification through carbon filters guarantee ease of use.

The classic composition passes four times distillation and three times filtration. The water from the bay gives the alcohol an American flavor. The drink bottle is as blue as the sky, and the name and logo are like clouds floating in it.

Smirnoff (England)

Raw materials for producing the best vodka in the world are purchased in Scotland, and birch coals are used to filter it. The beginning of the recipe goes back to the dawn of the 19th century when the Smirnov family owned the factory. It is to them that the world owes the appearance of a masterpiece. Russia lost the rights to the recipe due to the revolution when Smirnov left the country and sold his secret abroad. Now the brand is owned by the Diageo concern. And only the logo remained from the historical past. The double-headed eagle, as if carved from ice and silver and crowned with a victorious red ribbon, testifies to the greatness and celebrity of the drink.

Soplica (Poland)

Polish organic vodka has been made at the Gniezno factory since 1888. Its name is taken from a poetic work and is the protagonist’s surname. The founder, Pan Kasprowicz, tried to put the Polish spirit and history into the drinks of the line. The logo has an old manor and a signature about preserving the traditions of generations. The bottles are specially embossed as protection against fakes.

The classic version of 40% is prepared on cereal alcohol. The rest of the drinks in the line come with additives on fruits and herbs and are more reminiscent of tinctures and liqueurs with a degree of 28. Molasses and alcohol juices are introduced into their rectification. The full recipe is kept secret.

Stolichnaya (Russia)

There is a serious struggle for the right to own the Stolichnaya trademark because this is the most famous brand of Russian drink abroad, the history of which dates back to the times of the USSR. Now vodka is produced at a private factory Crystal. The label is decorated with gilding, adding elitism to alcohol, and the logo rising up indicates the quality improves every year. According to the recipe, Lux alcohol is filtered with coal and quartz sand. The final version contains refined sugar, which removes the harsh taste of alcohol.

Summum (France)

The province of Cognac in France turned out to be ideal not only for producing the drink of the same name but also for a whole range of premium alcohol. The name of vodka, translated as “top,” speaks for itself – the drink is one of the best on the market. Rectified wheat alcohol is mixed very slowly with two-week breaks with water from a clean source. The process makes the drink airy and silky with vanilla and wheat flavors. There is bitterness in the aftertaste, like most strong grain varieties.

In addition to the classic, there is lemon vodka and pepper in the brand’s arsenal. The logo exudes sharpness, coolness, and crystal clearness.

Svedka (Sweden)

The taste of this vodka contains notes of the softest grain alcohol, ocean breeze, and sweet citrus fruits. The raw materials for creating a masterpiece of the master took in the south of Sweden and subjected to five distillations. The largest consumer of the brand is the United States, where it is valued for its pleasant flavor bouquet. The large logo is designed to highlight the drink on the counter, like a truly Swedish one.

Three Olives (England)

Vodka appeared in 1998 in London. The logo with a crown immediately shows the country of production and the excellent taste of alcohol. A drink made from winter wheat undergoes a four-fold distillation, softening the taste and adding mineral shades. Water for production comes from Lake Wales. The line for cocktails has flavored options with a strength of 35%.

Vermont Spirits White (USA)

This brand of vodka embodies the spirit of Vermont. It is handcrafted from state-sourced Vermont maples. Maple must is used for vodka, which is already unusual among the prevailing grain spirits. Distillation units for distillation are made to order. The tree logo is recognizable and memorable. He points to an unusual raw material.

Vincent (Holland)

The vodka is named after a famous artist. Its brushstroke logo is reminiscent of the Starry Night element. It is based on a blend of the best wheat spirits from France, Germany, and Holland. On the palate, notes of wheat with a mineral aftertaste.

The collection includes a classic version of the drink and a range of products with fruit flavors (apple, berries, orange, pineapple) for various experiences. Products are the basis of all kinds of cocktails.

Vox (Holland)

The drink is prepared at the old distillery, which opened in 1828. Vodka from the Netherlands is distilled five times to obtain a mild taste. The logo’s tall, elongated letters indicate the container’s shape and the production of alcohol from the best ingredients. A mixture of wheat alcohol and pure water is considered a classic for vodka products, so the bread taste and a slight bitterness will pleasure connoisseurs of a natural drink.

Benefits of Vodka

Drinking alcohol in small amounts is beneficial for health due to the properties of alcohol and raw materials.

Antiseptic

As an antiseptic, vodka acts only externally. She can treat wounds. This will get rid of the infection and cause the death of microbes. When taken internally, the drink does not affect viruses and bacteria directly. However, a small amount, especially together with pepper, increases the activity of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and sweating. This speeds up recovery. For colds, ear pain, and inflammation of the joints, alcohol is suitable for rubbing or compressing, helping due to the warming effect.

Painkiller

Ethyl alcohol is similar in the mechanism of action to endorphins – substances that cause pleasure. Mood and tone rise, as does the threshold of sensitivity. Because of this, even serious injuries do not cause acute pain.

Soothing, relieving stress, and improving sleep

Small doses of alcohol have the same mechanism of action as antidepressants. Ethyl interacts with neurotransmitter receptors, causing relaxation and stress relief.

Circulatory stimulator

The activation of blood movement occurs due to the improvement of the heartbeat, the expansion of capillaries, and the thinning of the blood. That is why a person in the cold warms up after a glass of alcohol.

Appetite regulator

Ethyl alcohol activates the brain neurons responsible for appetite and promotes good digestion of food. Therefore, it is ideal for drinking alcohol during plentiful feasts.

It should be noted that alcohol has the listed positive properties when consumed in small quantities. Frequent and excessive drinking can backfire and become addictive.

Some statistics The best-selling vodka

According to the WHO, which collects statistics for all countries of the world, the most ethyl alcohol per capita is in Moldova and Lithuania (15 liters per year), followed by European countries. They drink the least in Africa and the Muslim world. For a year here, a person consumes from 0 to 2 liters of alcohol.

The two largest vodka markets are consistently located in Russia and the USA. But by 2022, Poland has become the largest producer of spirits. Her innovation in terms of improving the taste and adding herbal notes to the drink has led to the great popularity of the country’s brands. The market will change even more in the future as the world’s leading alcohol producer Diageo leaves Russia. Namely, he produces the world’s most popular and best-selling vodka, Smirnoff.

More than 25 million cases of Smirnoff leave the shelves every year, which is significantly superior to other competitors. Sweden’s Absolut, which is in second place, sells just over 11 million cases. Also in the top four are Khortytsya and Polish Zubowka.

It is interesting that if the volume of sales of other types of alcohol fluctuates, then vodka has its stable consumer. For example, in Russia, it is chosen by 17% of alcohol buyers, and this figure is not affected by any cataclysms.

The cheapest vodka

The cheapest vodka of the popular Smirnoff can be bought in Lebanon, followed by Latin America and Africa. The cost of 0.7 liters of drink will be 2-4 dollars. In the US, the price is almost $10, while in Ukraine, this figure is $12. Of course, there are enough little-known manufacturers in the post-Soviet space whose products can be purchased much cheaper. But it is difficult to judge the quality of this alcohol.

The most expensive vodka in the world

Since vodka is made from alcohol and water, making it very expensive is difficult. Therefore, manufacturers add value through additional materials, specially decorated packaging, and surprises that come with the kit. Like an SUV!

Russo-Baltique vodka is sold for 1.3 million through a bottle of bulletproof glass, a gold monogram smelted from old coins (the same adorned the brand’s real cars of the early 20th century), and corks made of ordinary and white gold. But the main addition to the drink is the Dartz Prombron SUV.

The most expensive is the Scottish brand Diva. Its contents are filtered through precious stones crushed to sand. And a stack of small pebbles is placed inside the bottle. Here the amount of payment depends on their price and quantity. The minimum option is $ 3,700; the maximum is more than 1 million.

However, this is not the limit. In 2015, buyers were offered the Billionaire brand worth 7.2 million for 18 liters. It was not only filtered through diamonds but the bottle was also decorated with diamonds in gold.

The Hong Kong “Dragon’s Eye” is slightly behind it. A container with a glass bas-relief of the beast, studded with precious stones, adds $5.5 million to the cost.

The most unusual vodka Flavored vodka Chombord delights with pink color and aroma of hibiscus with blackberry, but without sweetness. However, in the list of “unusual,” it is inferior to O2 vodka soda, which is poured from a siphon. The drink is great to drink and even good for health. Vodka “Chinggis Khan” doesn’t seem strong at all, like drinking regular milk. This is milk obtained by distilling a fermented goat product. And it’s 38 degrees. FAQ What is the difference between good vodka and “bad” vodka?

Good vodka differs from bad vodka in the presence of harmful impurities. Fusel oils and methanol are poisons. There are many of them in unrectified alcohol; therefore, such raw materials are prohibited for vodka production. However, some manufacturers falsify the drink by introducing poorly purified alcohol into its composition. This leads to poisoning, severe hangovers, and the drink’s sharp, unpleasant taste.

The ingredients of good vodka: what to pay attention to?

To understand how good vodka is in front of you, it is important to be able to read labels. On the bottle, the ingredients are placed in descending order of concentration. Therefore, in the first place is water (55-62.5%), then ethanol, preferably with an indication of the class, then the rest of the additives. Of these, flavored alcohol is acceptable.

A quality drink should not contain soda (bicarbonate) and glycerin. These elements are not harmful to health but often soften the taste of poorly filtered alcohol.

Flavors and dyes should also raise questions. Quality vodka is clear, even with additives. In special vodkas, aromatization is permissible only due to aromatic alcohols, but they are also transparent as they are distilled. Dyes are needed only for tinctures since, over time; alcohol discolors the color of the base.

To improve the taste, citric acid or sugar is added to the composition. These are also undesirable additives since, during storage, they cause the formation of harmful substances. It is better if ascorbic acid (vitamin C) or honey is used for organoleptic purposes. They have the same effect but without subsequent troubles.

How to choose a quality vodka: what to pay attention to?

On the shelves of stores, there is a huge selection of vodka products. How to choose an original product and avoid counterfeit and unscrupulous manufacturers?

Buy the product from a specialty store or, at the very least, in the supermarket. They don’t sell alcohol without a license. The hard liquor store is nice to have a consultant to help. Make sure that there is an excise stamp with holographic elements and stripes of various types and that the heat-shrink cap fits snugly on the neck. Look at the label and bottle. A simple shape and a thin paper label stuck on it somehow is not the best choice. Standing brands always care about the product’s appearance, adding embossing or embossing. Intricate containers are harder to fake. The label is made on thick paper, readable, sometimes with metal threads and drawings. Examine the contents. Flip the bottle, and face the light. Any inclusions, flakes, or texture heterogeneity should be alert. Read the composition.

It is better to give preference to products of well-known brands, as they care more about the methods of protecting the goods and the quality of the content.

How to serve vodka?

Before the feast, the drink is left to lie down in the freezer. Chilled vodka is easy to drink. Low temperature removes odor and taste. If the brand and composition are good, but you don’t like the taste at all, you can add honey or horseradish to the drink and let it brew. The ingredients will soften the alcohol.

Drink vodka with snacks. Meat, sausage, pickles, and smoked fish are ideal.
