Vodka

Vodka

Vodka is a clear distilled alcoholic beverage with different varieties originating in Poland and Russia.  It is composed primarily of water and ethanol, but sometimes with traces of impurities and flavorings.  Traditionally it is made by distilling the liquid from potatoes or cereal grains that have been fermented, though some modern brands use fruits or sugar as the base.  


Since the 1890s, standard vodkas have been 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) (80 U.S. proof).  The European Union has established a minimum alcohol content of 37.5% for vodka.  Vodka in the United States must have a minimum alcohol content of 40%.
