A Brief History

Vodka is an old nationwide drink. The year of origin of the drink is 1895, and the name "vodka" first appeared in 1936. The progenitor of the current Russian vodka is D. I. Mendeleev, who substantiated the composition of the drink from the point of view of science. Officially, the fortress of 40% was introduced as GOST by the Minister of Finance M. Kh. Reitern in 1866. The undeniable strength of vodka is in its purity. Trace impurities and fusel oils spoil alcohol and make it poison.

"Special Moscow Vodka" is listed as a Russian brand, demonstrated in 1894. The release of the little white was stopped due to dry law in Russia. In 1925, the commercial brand was returned to production in the USSR.

In 1936, technologists created a recipe for "Moscow Special" vodka, in which acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate were added (to alcohol and water). This is the only type of vodka in the USSR produced from wheat alcohol. The awards received testify to the highest standard of alcohol. For example:

• in 1954 - a gold medal was awarded at the exposition in Bern,
• in 1977 - in Zagreb at the international show the drink won the Grand Prix,
• in 2008 - at the tasting competition Best vodka of the year, vodka was awarded a silver medal,
• in 2015 - at the exhibition-show "PRODEXPO-2015" the product deserved the Grand Prix and was recognized as the product of the year.

In Russia, a distinctive national feature has long been deadly drunkenness. For certain, the USSR climbed into first place in the popularity of heavily drinking countries in the 50s of the last century. In 1990, in terms of the amount of alcohol consumed, Russia occupied the penultimate place - the last was Norway. In terms of vodka consumption, Russia ranked eighth, far behind the "champion" - Denmark.

At that time, white was made from three grades of alcohol: "Higher purification", "Lux" and "Extra". Alcohol of the brand "Higher purification" was expelled from a mixture of wheat, potatoes, raw sugar, molasses, sugar beets and additives. "Lux" and "Extra" - from wheat with the addition of potatoes with all sorts of levels of purification. Penny types of vodkas were made from "Higher Purity" alcohol, and expensive ones - from "Lux" and "Extra", hence the differences in the cost of drinks appeared.
