The Vodka
Obtained from different raw materials rich in sugar or starch, such as cereals and potatoes, vodka has its origins in Eastern Europe, between Poland and Russia. The word vodka, in various Slavic languages, is a diminutive of the terms corresponding to English word “water”, like saying “small water”. Vodka was brought to Europe by Napoleon but its true diffusion dates back to the 1950s.
