We bring to your attention the 10 most expensive varieties of vodka in the world. What is the reason for the high cost, manufacturers, the history of the creation of elite varieties of vodka.
There is probably no such person in the world who does not know what vodka is. The rating of this product among other strong alcoholic drinks is quite high.
Who drinks how much
It is human nature to compare certain facts and draw parallels. So, the well-known British magazine The Economist a couple of years ago conducted interesting studies that were devoted to the most popular strong alcoholic drinks, such as gin, rum, tequila, scotch and vodka.
Studies have confirmed that the most popular type is still vodka. The rating of its consumption in the context of countries also turned out to be quite expected. No one was surprised by the fact that most of the vodka is drunk in Russia. It turns out that a year per person on average accounts for 13.9 liters of this drink. This is a big number and worth thinking about. Indeed, in other countries this figure is much lower. For example, for Ukraine it is 7.7 liters, for Poland - 7.0, for Kazakhstan - 5.9, and for Germany - 0.9 liters.
Harm level
Many mistakenly believe that vodka is the most bad drink. In fact, everything looks quite different. It turns out that there are drinks that hit the human body much harder than vodka. The rating of their danger on a ten-point hangover level scale is as follows:
- Whiskey, brandy - 8.
- Wine red and champagne - 7.
- White wine - 6.
- Beer - 4.
- Vodka - 3.
An unusual picture? It turns out that everything is very simple. Scientists have determined that brandy and whiskey long time extracts accumulate a large amount of harmful substances that can poison the human body. And the ethanol contained, for example, in whiskey, is rapidly absorbed into the blood and reaches its maximum level in an hour. If you do not follow the norm, then the hangover will be simply cruel.
Beer, according to scientists, creates problems for the heart, intestines and, of course, the figure. In addition, it can create an imbalance of hormones. Vodka is the most pure product. It contains no additives, flavors or colors. And if you do not overdo it with the quantity and do not mix it with anything, then the consequences will be minimal.
Which vodka is better
Until 2010, international expert commissions did not conduct research on which of the vodkas produced in different countries of the world is better. American experts decided to fill this gap. They aim to establish the rating of vodka. As a result, ten best brands of this drink were singled out, which, according to the descending quality method, were arranged in the following sequence:
- Gray Goose made in France.
- Crystall. Products of the Russian plant "Crystal".
- Krolewska Polish production.
- Youri Dolgoruki, Russia.
- Finlandia made in Finland.
- Jewel of Russia - from Russia.
- Vincent. Vodka from the Netherlands.
- Rain made in the USA.
- Ketel One, The Netherlands.
- 3 Olives made in England.
The compiled rating of vodka confirmed the unconditional leadership of France. Although many believe that this is a primordially Russian product, but in this case the perfect selection of raw materials and the five-fold limestone purification make the quality of Gray Goose undeniable and still unattainable at the moment.
What do Russians love?
Yes, foreign goods are, of course, good, but the average buyer still focuses in his choice more often on a domestic manufacturer. This may be due to price difference or common trust. After all, our country is rich in both first-class raw materials and good specialists who are able to produce products of decent quality. According to research conducted in 2013, according to consumers, the rating of vodka in Russia is as follows:
- "Capital".
- Finlandia.
- "Count Ledoff".
- "Five lakes".
- "Husky".
- "Double Gold"
- Saimaa.
- "Firewood. Purified with birch charcoal.
- "Talka".
- "Baikal".
Positions were distributed between products depending on positive and negative customer reviews. The difference between these indicators became the starting point in determining the leader. The results show that vodka produced in Altai is the most popular. Everything is clear here, because the famous region has always been famous for its huge reserves of pure water and first-class grain.
Something that anyone can afford
Of course, not everyone can afford such vodka as Gray Goose. Its price ranges from 1500 to 1860 rubles. per 0.75 liter bottle. Therefore, Russian specialists from Krasnoyarsk conducted a tasting of vodka products in 2014 own production and foreign factories, the cost of which does not exceed 600 rubles.
12 samples were presented to the jury, from which the rating of the best vodka in the specified price segment was made. The local vodka "Yarich" was recognized as the best. She scored 9.63 points out of 10. The second was vodka from distant France "Aristoff", which got 9.54 points. In the third place of honor were two contenders: "Russian Standard" from St. Petersburg and "Saimaa" from Finland. Both of them received 9.43 points each.
Experts focused on such indicators as color, transparency, taste and aroma of the product. True, ordinary buyers do not quite agree with their opinion. Most ordinary people do not consider Yarich to be the best vodka. But experts probably know better.
Competition "Vodka of the Year"
Recently, it has become a good tradition to hold Product of the Year competitions in various industries. That is why leading experts from the CIS countries came together to determine what is the best vodka in Russia. The rating of candidates for the title of "Best Vodka 2015" determined 10 winners.
The undisputed leader was Sibalko vodka. She received a gold medal and a Grand Prix as a multiple winner. Next in order are Imperial Trust and Lemon Honey. These first three winners are indeed worthy of all praise.
Further, starting from the fourth place, the products are arranged in the following order: organic vodka Pure Dew, Black Diamond, Gulf Stream, Radamir, Selecta Lux, Haoma White, completes the top ten Gradus Zoloto. Drinks were evaluated by organoleptic indicators and noticeably pleased the jury. For example, original taste Everyone liked Radamir. And the reason for this is the addition of raisin infusion, which is a branded feature of the product.
Down with fakes
Usually, experts determine the quality based on approved organoleptic indicators. These include color, appearance, taste and aroma. In addition, there are also physical and chemical criteria, which include strength, as well as the presence of accompanying alcohols, oils, esters and other elements in the product under study. But all this requires a real laboratory. But what about a simple buyer who makes a daily choice, standing in front of multi-tiered store shelves lined with numerous types of products? After all, it's not a secret for anyone that there are a lot of fakes on sale that can't be distinguished by sight. What to do in this case?
For starters, don't look at the price. The number of zeros does not at all indicate the quality of the product. If there is no familiar name among the rich assortment, then it is best to perform the simplest operation: pick up a bottle and turn it sharply counterclockwise. In this case, there can be two outcomes:
- Small bubbles form, which settle on the surface and quickly disappear.
- Large bubbles remain on the surface of the liquid for a long time.
For right choice the first option is preferred. And in the second case, you should not make a purchase. You need to remember this brand and never again for such a product.
Previously, in the world and in Russia, they have never been involved in compiling a rating of vodka. The first such study was conducted in 2011 by an American vodka company. Now we can announce the name of the best vodka in the world. Many Russian manufacturers paint this list, but the championship still went to french mark. The survey was conducted among consumers and experts.
The best winemakers, professional tasters and ordinary buyers acted as experts. All studied types of vodka were tested by 30-40 people. The assessment consisted of the following criteria: palatability, smell, transparency, subjective sensations and visual appeal of the package.
Perhaps many will be surprised by the results, and this is not surprising. It must be remembered that the rating was made by the Americans, and the taste preferences of Russian and American citizens differ significantly.
Quality rating 2017 - 15 best vodkas in the world:
- Gray Goose. Produced in France. Selected grains from and water from the Gente spring are taken as the basis. Cleaning is done naturally with limestone. Vodka is distilled five times.

The history of vodka has been going on since the 15th century, but there is still no clear answer in what year vodka appeared, and who was the first to prepare this strong alcoholic drink. Despite numerous studies, disputes about the place of origin, as well as the right to the name "vodka", are still ongoing. One can imagine that in the old days the ties between peoples were close, the borders were open, and goods moved freely from country to country, regulated only by supply and demand. The forerunner of the appearance of vodka can be considered the aquavit (Latin aqua vitae), that is, alcohol in its modern representation, brought in the 14th century by Genoese merchants. The liquid was obtained using a distillation cube invented by the Arabs and was unsuitable for drinking, as it had a high fortress. Aquavita was used mainly for medical purposes.
According to one version, the recipe for vodka was invented by Isidore, a monk of the Chudov Monastery. Having at his disposal the necessary distilling equipment as well as experience in making less strong drinks, the monk made a strong drink, which after a while became known as vodka. It is 1430 that can be considered the beginning of the production of vodka. This fact was confirmed by the International Arbitration, which secured the right to use the name "vodka" for Russia.
It is necessary to clearly and unambiguously define the prescription limits under which vodka falls. The fact is that in past times, and even more so in the present, a fair amount of confusion has accumulated from names, interpretations and all kinds of recipes. All this wealth is called vodka, and only a small part of it is. Moonshine, alcohol tinctures, and diluted alcohol were also called vodka.
The word "vodka" is quite ancient, and is an ancient diminutive form of the word "water". One of the few analogues in the modern language that have the same ancient form can be considered the words "folder" and "mother". From this we can conclude that the word is as ancient as the little-changed basic words of the Russian language. This may speak of the ancient roots of the word and, probably, the drink it denotes. Water for the ancient Slavs was not just a liquid, as it is now. Not all water was drinkable, but only living water, that is, running, spring, water of fast rivers and streams. Such a respectful attitude towards water was subsequently reflected in the designation of a pure and strong drink "vodka". According to the Greek tradition, Byzantine wine was diluted with water (9th century), water was one of the main components honey drinks. Water in a broad sense was one of the elements worshiped by the ancient Slavs.
In the 10th-13th centuries, our ancestors stopped diluting wine with water, and made meads strong (up to 16% alcohol). This love for strong drinks and the gradual depletion of honey pushed to find new ways to make intoxicating drinks. In the 15th century, the set honey almost completely disappeared as one of the ancient, but difficult and long-lasting drinks. Honey drinks became popular in Europe and were exported there. At the same time, a certain surplus of grain appeared in central Russia. It was these factors that became decisive for the emergence of the first drinks that we could now call vodka.
The word "vodka" was not common until the middle or even the second half of the 19th century. And only by the end of the 19th century this word was strongly enough fixed in the lexicon; it is found in literary classics, the production of the drink is deployed on an industrial scale, and the state takes control of sales, being a monopoly. Until the 19th century, vodka was distributed mainly in the "grain" provinces - Kursk, Oryol, Tambov, Moscow, as well as in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, in which the surplus of grain production was distilled into alcohol.
The appearance of distillation and vodka itself was preceded by the appearance different kind mash, fermented kvass and birch. Traditionally, kvass in Rus' was made from bakery waste: crumbs, coarse flour, bran, sour dough. There was a practice of preserving kvass wort or grounds in old containers, which made it possible to achieve a stable taste. Fungal culture has been formed for centuries, and carefully preserved in households. The strength and saturation of kvass was formed with the help of different kind cereals and flour. The proportion of three or four types of cereals gave a greater strength and saturation of kvass, and in our case - raw materials. Sometimes kvass was fermented and became intoxicated, later they began to make specially fermented kvass, the strength of which was no less grape wine. The ancient term “created kvass” is known, which means “made”, “strong”, “intoxicating”. Birch - fermented Birch juice- one of the ancient alcoholic beverages of ancient Europeans and a grain intoxicating drink - beer - were also known in our area, which undoubtedly paved the way for the production of stronger drinks, namely vodka. Created drinks, in other words, obtained by distillation, appear already in the 13th century. However, it is still far from vodka.
Another feature was the use of hops and various herbs, especially wormwood. Intoxicated drinks based on herbs with wormwood were called "green wine", "potion". In comparison with European counterparts, Russian drinks had large quantity plant components, and they were laid in the middle or at the beginning of the process.
So gradually, in different ways, they approached the process of distillation of fermented low-alcohol raw materials into more Reviver. The sources of that time are silent about the properties, taste and recipe of the then vodka, but one can definitely answer that at the end of the 15th century there was already vodka in Russia. Various varieties appeared, differing in the purity of cleaning and the technology for removing fusel oils. So "Russian vodka" was called purified rye, which was served on the tables of the nobility and sold abroad. "Cherkasy vodka" was of lower quality, its origin was Polish-Ukrainian, and was closer to Ukrainian vodka, with an abundance of harmful impurities.
Since 1505, Russian vodka began to be exported to Sweden, Estonia, the Chudsky land, and the lands of the Livonian Order. Since 1533, a state monopoly has been introduced on vodka, taxes from the sold vodka begin to go to the state treasury. And the "king's taverns" bring significant profits. After such an important decision, vodka standards appear. Firstly, vodka began to be divided into varieties and quality levels with corresponding prices. This suggests that vodka is becoming popular, and the demand for non-strong drinks is growing. At the same time, the inevitable side problems with drunkenness appear. Hence the tight state control, especially in cases where low-grade cheap vodka is widely consumed. Since the end of the 16th century, any trade in vodka has been prohibited, except for state (royal) establishments. In the middle of the 17th century, due to a sharp decrease in the quality of vodka, as well as frequent cases of counterfeiting of royal vodkas, the so-called "tavern riots" arose, after which the then tsar, Alexei Mikhailovich, convened a council, at which drastic reforms of the drinking industry were carried out. For a very long period from the 16th to the 18th century, the preparation of vodka was in the hands of the state. The quality of the drink improved, new varieties appeared, ways were found to purify vodka from fusel oils. Various raw materials were tried for the preparation of the initial mash. At the beginning of the 18th century, Peter I allowed distilling to anyone, taxing cubes, that is, pieces of equipment. Distillery is becoming an additional money-making opportunity for everyone who grows grain. The main raw material is rye. It is not surprising that the quality of vodka drops at this time.
The term "vodka" appeared in documents only occasionally and as a kind of parallel term. The main title was bread wine". The name "vodka" appears in writing in the decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna of June 8, 1751. This decree clearly defined who could have an alembic and who could not. In 1765, Catherine II gives the nobility privileges for the production of vodka, freeing those nobles who are engaged in distillation from any taxes. However, restrictions were introduced in a different plane: each nobleman had the right to a certain amount of vodka production, according to his rank, rank or position. Other estates (merchants, clergy and philistinism) were deprived of the right to engage in distillation, and hence to have income associated with this. In addition, these estates had to buy vodka produced by state distilleries for their needs. The wise decision of the empress led to the fact that competition in this area disappeared for a long time in the country, while at the same time the internal needs of the nobility were satisfied. However, by the end of the 18th century, confusion with new decrees created grounds for abuse, and the "vodka wars" continued. Paul I, who came to power, who wanted to restore order, was killed, according to one version, precisely because of the strictness in relation to the privileges of the nobility for the production of vodka.
A real revolution in the quality of produced vodka occurred at the end of the 18th century, when the St. Petersburg chemist Toviy Lovitz began to use charcoal as a material for purifying alcohol from fusel oils. However, according to other sources, long before that, wood, mainly birch, coal was already used in Russia for cleaning. In January 1865, Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev defended his doctoral thesis "On the combination of alcohol with water", in which he proposed using a share of 40% alcohol in vodka. This landmark study forever defined 40% alcohol solution as the standard for vodka. And to this day, this ratio is used as ideal. In 1894, the Russian government patents vodka with 40% alcohol, passed through a wood carbon filter, as a national Russian vodka with the name "Moscow Special".
Russian history knows several prohibitions on the use of strong alcoholic beverages and especially vodka. In the 20th century, there were 2 such bans: during the First World War, when the Russian government issued a decree to suspend the sale of vodka (1914-1918), this decree was extended into the initial Soviet period (1918-1924). The second large-scale ban on the sale of alcohol was already in the perestroika era (1986-1990).
Vodka has always been a strategic product. Sales of vodka have always supported the country's economy. The drink was exported, and in the domestic market, the constant popularity of vodka made its production not only profitable, but very profitable. By 1937, the main recipes and types appeared Soviet vodkas, alcohol was produced only from grain and purified charcoal. A large number of export vodka brought the country the necessary money. Accordingly, the quality of the products was the highest. After the Great Patriotic War, the production of vodka resumed, and at the same time the production technology improved. There were sand-quartz filters for alcohol purification and cationic filters for water softening. By 1967, the export of vodka had grown even more, and more and more stringent requirements were imposed on quality. The proportion of impurities in rectified alcohol was thousandths of a percent or 1-2 ppm. Since 1971, 2 new varieties have appeared in the USSR - "Posolskaya" and "Sibirskaya", which, in addition to the existing and proven varieties "Stolichnaya", "Extra" and "Moscow Special", began to be produced both for the domestic market and for export. The quality of Russian vodkas has always been highly valued abroad, and it was during this period that fierce competition appeared with Western producers Absolut and Smirnoff.
Like any strong drink ancient history, vodka requires a culture of drinking. Traditionally, it is believed that drinking vodka should be in one gulp, "without breathing." However, this method comes from drinking low-grade vodka, the taste of which is really unenviable. But drinking good Russian vodka in one gulp means disrespecting the drink. If this is a worthy representative of high-quality Russian vodkas, then, having cooled to the desired temperature and pouring vodka into a glass, it is good to drink in small portions, passing the drink through the oral cavity, releasing further and leading to the esophagus.
Any alcoholic drink is worthy of appreciation palatability. Vodka is no exception. First, the vodka must be cold. Not too much, so as not to "burn with the cold", but not warm either. The optimum temperature is 8 - 10 °C. It is not customary to dilute vodka, unless it is part of a cocktail. You can drink vodka or have a snack. You can drink, for example, Borjomi mineral water. It is this type of mineral water that is better than others for these purposes, because the ph of Borjomi is similar to the ph of blood. This combination allows you to slightly lower the concentration of alcohol in the blood. Two types of snacks are recommended as snacks for vodka - cold and hot. The latter are rare, but preferable, since with good hot snacks a person gets drunk slowly and can control the situation quite clearly. Cold appetizers are better than if there were none at all.
Centuries-old traditions of drinking vodka in Russia have the same old "snack traditions". Vegetable, mushroom, meat and fish dishes worthy of neighborhood with Russian vodka. Pickled vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, and a whole battery of mushroom pickles are great with vodka as a snack. What are the famous Novgorod salted cucumbers, traditionally cooked in large oak barrels. Mushrooms were always salted in the same barrels. In Russia, with its abundance of rivers, fish was much more accessible than meat, and it was the abundance fish snacks says that this combination of "fish and vodka" has been tested for centuries and can be successfully used today. All diversity river fish now complemented by marine fish species. The famous herring has long been firmly in the lead among fish snacks. From classic dishes Russian cuisine can be called unsweetened pancakes with various fillings, such as caviar, Siberian dumplings, sauerkraut.
It is not customary to mix vodka with other types of alcohol. Vodka does not like mixing very much. Any experiments of drinking vodka along with beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages end in best case headache. There are some tips on how to avoid excessive intoxication or the most severe morning hangover, but simply - poisoning.
Tip one: drink in moderation and little by little. No matter how trite it sounds, vodka is a very strong and insidious drink. Usually when a small amount snacks or in their absence, vodka is drunk easily, and intoxication is not felt. However, when a person gets up from the table, vodka immediately reminds of itself with a strong effect, but the moment is lost, the sloppy vodka lover is drunk and unable to control himself. Physiologically, this is easily explained - while sitting, the stomach is compressed and vodka, getting inside, may not touch the walls of the stomach, and therefore not be absorbed. It is recommended to drink with long pauses and periodically get up from the table. In this way, you can assess your condition much more accurately.
Tip two: drink only proven, quality vodka. It is known that the miser pays twice. With regard to vodka, this can be “three times”. Poor-quality vodka can be poison for both the body and the mind.
Tip three: eat BEFORE the feast a little of what you planned to eat with your favorite drink. And it would be even better to eat some greasy or oily foods.
Tip #4: tea and only tea. This drink has always helped before and after heavy drinking. Before the feast cup strong tea will save your stomach from the first portions of vodka that irritate the walls. At the same time, it will create a kind of buffer, a gradual, not a sharp intoxication. After the feast, a few cups green tea relieve heaviness in the stomach and refresh. Of course, tea does not remove hops, but quite noticeably helps to remove alcohol from the body. First of all, this is to help your kidneys, as tea has diuretic properties.
And finally, some information:
- remember that mixing vodka with any soda, and therefore with carbon dioxide, enhances the absorption of alcohol.
- Smoking makes you more drunk.
- mixing with sweet liqueurs, liqueurs, etc. leads to severe hangovers.
- do not go out, being drunk, in the cold and "fresh air", instead of the necessary freshness, intoxication may increase! It is enough to open the window and just ventilate the room.
- remember that strong alcohol gradually gains its strength (concentration in the blood) and the peak of intoxication comes only after an hour of use!
- if you feel that you are losing consciousness from drinking alcohol - do not hesitate to ask for help or try to empty your stomach in any way you know. It is possible that this is a substandard product and there is no reason to take risks.
With all the insidiousness, you should not blame vodka for anything. Let's stick to one simple rule: vodka is a festive drink that gives people fun and a sense of satisfaction, and you should drink it only on a holiday and only of the best quality. Be moderate and stay healthy!
