The world loves vodka! This issue is beyond dispute. Although global sales of this drink fell slightly in 2018, a sharp increase again was observed a few months later. This is one of the best-selling spirits in the world. It owes its popularity primarily to its versatility. Vodka plays a key role in almost every event, regardless of its type. Drunk at home and in a restaurant, during holidays and over the weekend, with ice or as a drink, by men and women - it is present in our everyday lives.
Top 4 best vodka brands in the world
A Polish accent could not be missing in the ranking of the best-selling premium brand vodkas of the American magazine "Impact". One of our gems was just behind the podium:
Smirnoff - number one in the world! Vodka created by a Russian peasant. Once the Tsar's favorite drink, now drunk in nearly 40 flavors in 130 countries. Nowadays produced in Great Britain. Made from grains, obtained by triple distillation.
Absolut - one of the most famous vodka brands in the world, originating from Sweden. Founded in the 19th century by Lars Olssen Smith, who also became famous as the inventor of fractional distillation. Absolut is characterized by unusual, collectible bottles.
Khortytsa (Khortitsa) - Ukrainian vodka, named after the largest island in this country. A relatively new drink, created in 2003.
Żubrówka - also known as Bison Grass Vodka, a Polish brand that has won foreign hearts. The characteristic drink with bison grass added to the bottle was born in the 17th century. Currently produced in many countries around the world.
Poland in the ranking of the best vodkas in the world
The third place of Żubrówka is not the only success of our country. Only the top twenty includes three brands produced in Poland. Soplica took the tenth place, and Krupnik was the twentieth.
Soplica - one of the oldest domestic brands of pure vodka, with over 20 delicious drinks in its portfolio.
Krupnik - vodka produced by the Sobieski capital group.
Poland can boast of many excellent drinks, especially in the field of pure vodkas. The world also appreciated Wódka Żołądkowa Gorzka De Luxe (twenty-first place), Żytniówka (twenty-sixth place), Wyborowa (twenty-ninth place), Sobieski (thirty-fourth place) and Prestige (thirty-fifth place).
Poland is currently the largest producer of vodka in the European Union and fourth in the world - right after Russia, the United States and Ukraine. Interestingly, two countries are currently competing for the title of the homeland of this alcohol: Poland and ... Russia. The literature on the subject does not define the exact date of developing the technique of vodka production. However, it is generally accepted in the world that our neighbors started its production.
