Vodka is a drink that is drunk all over the world by different segments of the population. Depending on the degree of purification, taste, the price of this drink can reach prohibitive, and high-quality vodka is made not only in Russia, but also abroad.

Billionaires are also people and they are not alien to the love of elite collection vodka, the cost of which is commensurate with a high-class car. Naturally, in addition to its taste, such a drink is distinguished by its original design with the use of precious stones.

The article describes the most expensive representatives of vodka from Russia and abroad. Is it worth paying that kind of money for this drink and what is the peculiarity of exclusive vodka - we will consider below.

Vodka for the elite

The cost of vodka vodka varies depending on the place of production and the brand. But the place of sale also affects the price, because it also includes delivery costs, as well as profit for the supplier.

• But quality does not necessarily mean a high price, from which you instantly want to get depressed.
• And the most popular in the world are by no means expensive luxury bottles.
• At the same time, our “national” drink is sold most of all not even in Russia, but abroad. Russians prefer to drink other alcoholic beverages, rather than "native" vodka.

Very often, the inflated cost of vodka comes out because of its packaging, and not just the promoted brand. Because manufacturers tend to dodge only this way: some make a design in the form of a bow tie, while others completely paste over the bottle with Swarovski crystals. And it is no longer so important how many stages of distillation the drink went through in such a bottle.

It should be put in the most prominent place, and drunk only on the most important occasions. After all, it was clearly created as a decoration for an alcoholic collection, and not for you to drink it after a bath.

What should be good vodka

Choose quality alcohol It's easy if you know the signs of low-quality vodka. Then you can easily recognize the fake. The first thing that should alert the buyer is the absence of an excise stamp.

Look at the bottom of the bottle

Vodka consists of 2 components: alcohol and water, so there should be nothing else in it. The first thing the customer should do is look at the bottom of the bottle, turning it upside down so that the light illuminates the contents. A drink is of high quality if:

• transparent liquid;
• no cereal;
• garbage - hair, grains of sand;
• there is no yellow or whitish color - a sign of unsanitary conditions.

It is easy to determine the illegality of vodka production by the bottom of the bottle. You need to run your palm over it, if you feel a barely noticeable presence of oil, then the container passed through the factory conveyor. A very rough oil print will indicate that it is a pallet.

It is worth buying a drink only when no foreign ingredients are visible in it. It is harder to identify the quality of alcohol, which can not harm the body.

Information on the label

The label can tell a lot about the contents of the bottle.

1. If the vodka is of high quality, the label will indicate that the alcohol is made in accordance with GOST R 51355-99.
2. A fake will be vodka, on the bottle of which stands the now abolished GOST 12712-80.

The label must contain the address of the manufacturer. Pay attention to its quality, the factory one cannot have bubbles, torn corners, distortions.

The cork on the bottle or cap must be branded with the brand of the enterprise.

If it's fake:

• no excise stamp;
• the cap scrolls easily;
• the cork or cap is deformed;
• the cap cannot be separated from the metal extension.

With a careful examination of the cork, the buyer will easily find signs that will alert and encourage a more thorough inspection of the goods.

What should be the bottle

The appearance of the bottle is important for choosing a good vodka. The design decision in this case is not important at all.

Estimated:

• the quality of the screw cap or cap attachment;
• the presence of a spill date stamp;
• the stamps on the cork and the label must match;
• the presence on the bottom of the bottle of dark strokes from the rubber of the conveyor;
• bottle type: good vodka sold in branded packaging;
• the presence at the bottom of branded bottles of the release date and batch number;
• numbers are laser engraved on the cap and on the neck of the bottle.

Counterfeiters pour the contents into the simplest and cheapest containers. Vodka in branded bottles with a characteristic shape and color must be of high quality.

Bottling time

Vodka should be fresh, bottled 3 months ago, no more. Bottling imported is allowed up to 6 months. such periods are necessary so that the container cannot be reused.

Purity of vodka

To be sure of the purity of the product, check the alcohol for the presence harmful substances. Plain litmus paper will help with this. In the presence of sulfuric or acetic acid, it will turn red.

Vodka can be checked for the amount of fusel oils when a spoon with alcohol is set on fire until the liquid ignites. If the smell is unpleasant - this product is dangerous, then it contains a large number of fusel oils.

cleaning

The most important thing in the process of "how to choose high-quality vodka" is the technology of its multi-level purification. Manufacturers indicate the purification of alcohol:

• silver;
• birch buds;
• honey;
• dry milk.

The consumer pays for such technologies, but to choose such a product or not is an individual matter. In any case, good vodka should be clean and transparent.

Expiry date and date of manufacture

Ordinary vodka is stored for no more than one year, special grade- six months. Be wary of alcohol, which is stored longer.

Enterprises make an inscription on each bottle with a laser printer with the date of manufacture, which is not erased by anything. On a pallet, such a date is put on the label (on its reverse side) with an ordinary printer.

And the fact is that at the bottom of each bottle you can come across a very original gift - a precious or semi-precious stone, and if you're lucky, then a real diamond. True, the higher the cost of the bottle, the greater the chance of getting the most expensive diamond.
