Vodka is an alcoholic product with a long history. Anyone who has drunk vodka knows that this is the purest alcohol, but it must be consumed in moderate quantities.
Regarding the sugar content of vodka, it can be said, that it contains traces of sugar, that are so small, that vodka is considered an alcohol, in which there is no sugar.
Extremely high purification is required to obtain quality vodka. Its purity plays an important role in shaping the taste characteristics of the final product.
Nowadays, vodka is obtained by fermenting rye or other cereals with the help of yeast.
The cereals in question contain sufficient sugars, which provide the necessary food for the yeast, which is known to ferment sugar into alcohol.
Therefore, it is not necessary to add additional amounts of sugar to the fermentation feedstock.
It is important to emphasize that after fermentation, the vodka is subjected to continuous distillation and purification with charcoal and dilution with clean water to obtain the desired taste, aroma and alcohol content.
In these processes the purification is extremely high and a final product with an alcohol content of about 37% is obtained.
Now you can easily make a vodka cocktail or see how original Russian vodka is made.
