About National Vodka Day
Ends: Oct 04, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
"Voda" is Russian for water, and vodka is Russia's water of life.
First distilled in homes during the 9th Century AD, the first commercial distillery began in 1174 AD, according to the Vyatka Chronicle. The Poles debate this, stating they first started making vodka in the eighth century AD. Proof exists of Polish vodka in the early 1000s AD when it was used as medicine.
Once gunpowder was discovered, vodka contributed to its production as well.
British diplomats brought vodka back to England during the Tudor era; by that time, it had become the national drink of Poland and Finland. Vodka was first exported as a commodity from Russia to Sweden in 1505.
Around this time, flavoring vodka (to suss out impurities) became popular, and just about any flavor you can think of, from chicory to peppermint, was used. In the 18th century, charcoal was deployed for filtration; before this, it had been sand and silt.
