- Vodka is a colorless, un-aged, distilled spirit.Russia is credited to being the first to create vodka. The word vodka is likely to be derived from the word “vodka”, which means “dear little water.” Vodka has been around since at least the 14th century. Vodka is extremely high in alcohol content so it never freezes, which is why many places such as Russia enjoyed this beverage. Today, vodka represents the second highest sales for spirits in the United States (as of 2011). Vodka makes up 23.6% of the U.S. market. Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. (2011). Economics. DISCUS, n.d.Web. 19Apr. 2011. <http://www.discus.org/economics/>.
- Out of all spirits, vodka has the most diversity. One third of the vodka drinkers out there are young professionals from ages 21 to 34, most likely to be college graduates. Of all women who drink, 48% would choose vodka over any other spirit. All Business. (2011). The Proof is in the Numbers. D&B Company, n.d.

- Vodka is not only consumed by Americans and Russians. Many other places in the world enjoy vodka as well. Vodka Regions:Russia, Ukraine and Belarus produce the full range of Vodka types, and are generally acknowledged to be the leaders in Vodka production. Only the better brands, all of which are distilled from rye and wheat, are exported to the West.Poland produces and exports both grain- and potato-based Vodkas. Most of the high- quality brands are produced in pot stills.Finland, along with the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, produce primarily grain-based Vodkas, mostly from wheat.Sweden has, in recent decades, developed a substantial export market for its straight and flavored wheat-based Vodkas.Western Europe has local brands of Vodka wherever there are distilleries. The base for these Vodkas can vary from grains in northern countries such as the United Kingdom, Holland, and Germany, to grapes and other fruits in the winemaking regions of France and Italy.The United States and Canada produce non-flavored Vodkas, both from various grains (including corn) and from molasses. American Vodkas are, by law, neutral spirits, so the distinction between brands is more a matter of price and perception than taste.The Caribbean produces a surprising amount of Vodka, all of it from molasses. Most of it is exported for blending and bottling in other countries.Australia produces molasses-based Vodkas, but few are exported.Asia has a smattering of local Vodkas, with the best coming from Japan.Tasting.com.
