Vodka is a distilled drink, primarily of water and ethanol. Vodka is made by the distillation of cereal grains or potatoes that have been fermented. Some modern brands however, use other substances, such as fruits or sugar. Since the 1890s, the standard Polish, Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Czech vodkas are 40% alcohol by volume – this is the same now for Mexican vodka.

For many centuries, vodka and other alcohols used to be very different, as the spirit at that time had a different flavour, colour and smell, and some were originally used as medicine. It contained little alcohol, an estimated maximum of about 14%, as only this amount can be attained by natural fermentation. The still, allowing for distillation increased purity, and increased alcohol content, was invented in the 8th century.
