Let’s face it; most of us enjoy a wee tipple of vodka every now and then, but few people know much about this charismatic alcoholic beverage, asides from the fact it’s traditionally made using potatoes (although even that is mostly wrong, since modern methods rely instead on grain or molasses).
Most people also seem to assume vodka originated in Russia or Poland, and that is indeed the partial truth. What many people don’t realize is that nowadays, these countries are no longer regarded as the top producers of this popular ethanol-based distillate.
