'Welease Wodka!' ... Did you know that this was the translation in the Russian version of 'Life Of Brian'? Only joking... no idea if it was, but we here at Big Time Wine think that Vodka is so good these days it deserves its own spot. Tap the shot glass next door to 'Salut' the clear one!'
Vodka... Polish: wódka, (Russian: водка, Czech: vodka, Slovak: vodka) is a distilled beverage and one of the world's most popular liquors. It is composed primarily of water and ethanol with traces of impurities and flavorings. Vodka is made from fermented substances like grain and potatoes.
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. Some vodkas are made from potatoes, molasses, soybeans, grapes, rice, sugar beets and sometimes even byproducts of oil refining or wood pulp processing. In some Central European countries like Poland some vodka is produced by just fermenting a solution of crystal sugar and yeast. In the European Union there are talks about the standardization of vodka, and the Vodka Belt countries insist that only spirits produced from grains, potato and sugar beet molasses be allowed to be branded as "vodka", following the traditional methods of production.
