Vodka is a popular beverage that will continue to be so in the coming years. Vodka has a 'unisex appeal,' as both men and women enjoy it. Vodka mixed drinks are the most popular drinks ordered in cafés, clubs, and discotheques, aside from beer. Every year, 4.5 billion litres of Vodka are consumed around the world. This accounts for one-fifth of overall spirits consumption. And the expansion isn't over yet. New brands and varieties continue to appear on the market.

Vodka is a large and diverse category of liquor, and unlike other spirits, it is not governed by any set of rules. Vodka is a Russian alcohol that is generally referred to as a "neutral grain spirit" because it is made by fermenting and distilling grain. This could be maize, rye, wheat, or any other grain the distiller prefers. Potato vodka has long been a popular beverage in Poland and other potato-growing regions such as Idaho and Scandinavia. However, vodka can be distilled from almost anything, and you can find vodkas manufactured from beets and grapes.

Vodka is a rectified spirit, which means it has been distilled three times or more. Some products have been distilled five or more times. A vodka brand's claim that their vodka has been distilled X number of times has become commonplace. The idea is that the more it is distilled, the cleaner and smoother it becomes. In general, this is correct. The "heads" and "tails" of vodka are frequently removed as it passes through the still. These are the components of a finished batch's distillate that are located on the top and bottom. The vodka becomes cleaner and has fewer contaminants when only the "heart" of the distillation is used.

After distillation, vodka is filtered, most commonly using charcoal. Vodka does not require maturing and is ready to drink immediately. From still strength to bottling proof, which is typically 40% alcohol by volume, it is cut with water (ABV, 80 proof). 100-proof vodka and higher are available, however they are less popular.

The neutral flavour of vodka is also due to one very essential factor: water. Many brands may boast about making smooth vodka with mountain spring water or some other ultra-clean source. This is an essential component of the distillation and bottling process that cannot be overlooked.
