What is Vodka?
Vodka is a clear liquid consisting of mostly water and ethanol purified by distillation from a fermented substance such as grain (rye or wheat), potatoes, corn, sugar beet molasses and even grapes. It has a high alcohol content that is usually around 80 proof (40%). The majority of vodkas produced for consumption in the United States and Western Europe are made from either wheat or rye. By law in these regions, vodka cannot have a distinctive color, smell, or flavor.
