Historical origin

The origin of vodka

Russian "vodka" and polish "wodka" have the same root, and Slavic means a small amount of water.

 

In 1533, it was first mentioned in the ancient Russian literature that "vodka" was in the annals of novgord, meaning "medicine". It is used to scrub the wound. Taking it can relieve the pain.

 

In 1751, in the official document issued by yekaterina I, "vodka" has the meaning of alcoholic drink, but in the folk, alcohol is still called "food wine" or usually simply "wine".

 

Russia said

It is said that as early as the end of the 15th century in Russia, a group of monks made a liquid for disinfection. Some people tried to drink the liquid and felt very good. Then people brewed vodka with imported alcohol, local grains and spring water.

Poland said

The wine that the poles think is called gorzalka by Russia has appeared from the 8th to 12th century A.D.

Early vodka came from frozen wine. Because alcohol has a lower freezing point, throw away the frozen part of the wine first, and the rest is basically the result of distillation.

The more advanced distillation technology appeared in 1400 ad. early poles used vodka as a medicine. Polish historians believe that it was the Poles who integrated this new distillation method to produce better quality vodka.

In 1772, Poland was divided into Russia, Prussia and Austria Hungary. They think vodka was introduced into Russia from Poland in this period.

Now it's generally accepted

Vodka officially appeared in 1478 when Ivan III established the state monopoly of the Baijiu liquor.

 

In 1553, Ivan Reid opened the first vodka tavern in Moscow and made a huge profit. The 19th century is a solid century for vodka to occupy the international market.

 

Although the alcohol purity of vodka is very high, it has a common name at the beginning: table wine No. 21. Since then, it has many names, such as "bread wine" and "Shaojiu". It was not until the beginning of the 20th century that it was officially named "vodka" because this kind of liquor contains more water than wine, so it is homophonic to water in Russian.

 

Technology of various countries

Production technology

Brewing materials

Although most vodka is made from grains (especially barley, wheat and rye), in fact, there are no special requirements for the raw materials of vodka. All the raw materials that can be fermented can be used to make vodka, including grapes and potatoes.

Brewing method

The traditional brewing method of vodka is to distill 96% alcohol semen with potato or corn, barley and rye as raw materials by distillation, and then make the alcohol flow through a container with a large amount of charcoal to absorb impurities in the liquor (1.5kg charcoal should be continuously filtered for at least 8 hours for every 10 liters of distilled liquor, and at least 10% charcoal should be replaced after 40 hours), and finally use distillation Water diluted to 40-50% alcohol, to remove toxins and other foreign substances in alcohol, a pure high alcohol beverage.

Vodka can be sold and drunk without aging, and there are also a small amount of fragrant vodka, such as fragrant vodka, which needs to be perfumed after dilution to make it fragrant. Vodka, like gin, is a high alcohol beverage made from grains and does not need to be stored.

Drinking method

Two ways to drink vodka

One is the classic and primitive "neatvodka". The iced vodka is slightly viscous, and the liquor spreads after the entrance. It tastes mellow like brandy. When you enter the stomach, you will feel the heat flow all over your body, like caviar, sausages, salted fish, wild mushrooms and other food. It is also a wonderful enjoyment. Frozen vodka is usually served in small cups. Generally, you can't drink it slowly. Just drink it with the bottom of the cup facing up to the sky, which is quite like our Shandong man's booze.

Another way to drink is "mixed vodka", which is made of vodka and concentrated fruit juice or mixed with other soft drinks or low alcohol liquor. It is served in a long cup and tasted slowly.
