伏特加是最受歡迎的烈性酒精飲料之一。全世界都知道,但不是每個制作人都有好的。當(dāng)然也不是每個國家都有好的伏特加。在這篇文章中,我們收集了世界各地最好的伏特加品牌。其中一些長期以來一直穩(wěn)居世界排名前列,還有一些不太為消費者所知,但絕對值得您關(guān)注。
有一個最好的伏特加的評級,由美國專家編制,一個由俄羅斯專家編制(因為畢竟伏特加被認(rèn)為是俄羅斯飲料),還有一個簡單的伏特加品牌受歡迎程度的評級。
專家根據(jù)各種參數(shù)對伏特加進(jìn)行評估,對這種酒精飲料中最受歡迎、銷量最大、質(zhì)量最高、最貴和最便宜的品牌進(jìn)行評級。
選擇伏特加是一個復(fù)雜的過程,尤其是考慮到有一千多個品牌。1998年,品嘗飲料協(xié)會首次對各種品牌進(jìn)行了比較。此外,一家向美國供應(yīng)酒類的公司首次編制了一份全面的質(zhì)量評級。在這兩種情況下,法國品牌灰色鵝都被認(rèn)為是最好的,并且仍然保持著排名第一的位置。
在其中一個官方排名中,根據(jù)美國專家的說法,最好的伏特加是法國灰鵝,產(chǎn)自干邑省。在他們看來,排在第二位的是俄羅斯伏特加晶體.排在第三位的是產(chǎn)自波蘭的克羅勒斯卡伏特加。
當(dāng)然,大家都知道灰鵝、絕對、芬蘭和白鯨等品牌是優(yōu)質(zhì)品牌,但這并不意味著所有優(yōu)質(zhì)飲料都屬于精英階層。優(yōu)質(zhì)伏特加和普通伏特加的主要區(qū)別是完全沒有味道。唯一的例外是特殊的、特定于品牌的注釋。伏特加由最優(yōu)質(zhì)的酒精制成,經(jīng)過多級提純。精英伏特加既沒有外來雜質(zhì),也沒有刺鼻的酒精味道。它很容易喝,口感柔和,原始的設(shè)計和壯觀的包裝使這種優(yōu)質(zhì)伏特加成為專享鑒賞家的真正奢華禮物。
伏特加是什么?伏特加是一種(通常)透明的酒精,最初產(chǎn)于東歐的谷物中,酒精含量約為40%體積/80度標(biāo)準(zhǔn).
當(dāng)伏特加與其他飲料混合時,味道幾乎難以分辨。但如果做過頭了,第二天就知道了。我們說不是很貴,但是絕對不要省酒精飲料,因為差價會由你的身體買單。
伏特加來自東歐的斯拉夫語,并來自于他們常用的水的單詞沃達(dá).伏特加很小,意思是"一點水"伏特加被稱為"一點水",要么是因為它乍一看像水,要么是因為它在蒸餾后很強烈,必須用一點水稀釋到流動容量。
所以,讓我們繼續(xù)討論最好的伏特加品牌,并決定下一次聚會雞尾酒的理想酒精。

FAQ How is good vodka different from “bad” vodka?A classic vodka is an alcoholic drink consisting of only two ingredients: ethyl alcohol and water. It is difficult to spoil if both ingredients are of good quality. Such a drink has almost no taste and smell, is easy to drink, and after drinking it in reasonable quantities there is no hangover syndrome.
Another thing is adulterants, made from low-grade raw materials with a violation of technology. These are the ones that most often give rise to criticism from consumers. Moreover: consumption of illegally produced alcohol can be life-threatening.
Good vodka is as clear as a tear and as clear as rock crystal.
The ingredients of good vodka: what to pay attention to High-quality alcoholFor the manufacture of vodka, alcohol obtained by rectification is used. Unlike distillate, it does not retain the flavor and aroma of the original raw material, so first of all, you need to look at how well it is purified, not what it is made of.
The right technologyThe aqueous-alcoholic mixture goes through a complex filtration system before it is bottled. First, it is passed through a layer of quartz sand, then through batteries of activated carbon. For the premium segment products, additional purification with egg white, milk, and precious metals is used. The filtration process separates all mechanical impurities, and reduces the number of aldehydes and higher alcohols – it is not a whim, but a matter of product safety.
Natural additivesVodka can be classic and special. The first contains nothing but water and alcohol. The second may contain additives that affect organoleptic properties. All additives may change the flavor of the vodka, and its aroma, but not its color: it must remain transparent. In ordinary mid-priced vodka, additives are often just a marketing ploy. The proportion of the ingredients specified in the formulation is so small that they are unlikely to be felt. It may also happen that with additional ingredients the producer is trying to disguise the alcohol which is not quite of high quality. If you like the classic vodka flavor, it’s better to settle for a pure product without additives.
The special flavored Vodka is prepared by a different technology. In addition to ethanol and water, in it, you can taste aromatic alcohols obtained by repeated distillation of alcoholic infusions of herbs, berries, fruits, and nuts. Such distillate is also transparent, but it concentrates not only vodka but also aromas from the constituent components.
How to choose a quality vodka: what to pay attention toAny alcohol store provides a good assortment of wine and vodka products. Because of this, unsophisticated buyers may have problems with the choice. If you don’t want to wake up in the morning with a sick head, here are some tips.
In stores, anyone can get a fake. It will stand in a prominent place, so as not to arouse suspicion. It is possible to determine the surrogate by many attributes.
You should pay attention to everything beginning from the quality of the package up to the tint of the liquid. It is necessary to pay attention to the color of alcohol. It should be crystal clear with no turbid specks. There should not be any sediment on the bottom. To check this, you should turn the bottle upside down and hold it in that position for a few seconds. Next, look through the liquid into sunlight or a bright lamp. The right product after all these manipulations should not change its hue. If any suspended particles or turbid flecks appeared in the liquid, it indicates that the alcohol has not been purified and there are impurities in it. If the product is good and produced in the factory with compliance with all technological processes, then the cap on it will not twist or leak. It is better to opt for a bottle with a white dispenser. This design is more difficult for underground shops to tamper with. The label can also tell a lot about the legality of the product. It should be evenly glued, and all the inscriptions should be well-readable. Factory products always carry an excise stamp, which gives the buyer full information about the product. The data on the cover and the label should be identical. At this point, many counterfeiters make a mistake. Don’t be lazy and check if the bottling date on the cap and the label match. Famous brands fight for their prestige and customers’ health by additional methods. For this purpose, they develop special ways of protection, making it difficult to counterfeit. These can be embossed marks on the bottle, coats of arms, and other markers. Here, each letter or symbol can mean something different. Sometimes a numerical code is put on the label. QR codes have appeared on some bottles. This allows you to quickly read the information about the product online. It is enough just to point it at the screen of your phone with the camera turned on. This solution provides additional reliability and gives an advantage in the fight against counterfeits. The signs of premium vodkaOf course, there is no need to buy premium vodka for a family feast, guided only by the consideration of good quality liquor. In this case, the beauty of the package and the fivefold refinement of the product does not play a role.
Below we offer you a brief list of the main features of premium vodka.
The main difference between elite vodka from ordinary vodka is practically the total absence of any flavor. The only exception may be special varieties of alcoholic beverages, which are characterized by a particular brand. Premium vodka is often made from high-quality spirits (“extra” or “l(fā)uxury”) and undergoes extremely careful multi-stage purification. Premium spirits are completely free of harsh alcoholic taste and foreign impurities. High-quality expensive alcohol is effortless to drink.Every premium liquor has spectacular packaging and original design, which makes this liquor a truly chic gift for lovers and connoisseurs of exclusive alcohol.
