Is Vodka made out of patatoes?

Answer 1

A good one should be made from potatoes, soy or wheat.
Cheaper ones could be made from these aswell as other inexpensive sources of starch.

Answer 2

they say vodka was originally from Poland and was used for trade as well as drink and yes some are made from potatoes (not patatoes) most now days are just grain alcohol filtered Thur charcoal from my understanding etc i have all the facts at home but sorry today I'm at work and any ways you just simply asked is vodka made from potatoes well yes it is and if i may add its damn good a little expensive but i like it a lot it is cleaner then old cheap vodka and it does not leave you with a hangover but if your just using it as a mixer id go with the cheap stuff

Answer 3

It was originally made with potatoes (some still is in Russia) but is now usually made with corn and wheat. Grain is soaked in water, fermented, then distilled 3 times (the third distillation eliminates impurities). Distilled and demineralized water is then added to bring the vodka down to consumable levels (32 to 47% alc./vol.). Then the vodka is filtered through activated wood charcoal filters (either apple tree or birch wood).

Answer 4

Vodka would nicely be produced from any distilled grain or patotoes or uncooked components(which contain berry). you fermented the patatoes with yeast after which it becoems alcohol via a prcoess referred to as alcoholic fermentation.

Answer 5

Vodka is typically a colorless liquor, usually distilled from fermented grain. The word is a diminutive of the Slavic word "voda" (voda, вода) for "water."

Except for various types of flavorings, vodka consists of water and alcohol (ethanol). Vodka usually has an alcohol content ranging from 35% to 50% by volume. The classic Russian vodka is 40% (80 proof). This can be attributed to the Russian standards for vodka production introduced in 1894 by Alexander III from research undertaken by the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev. According to the Vodka Museum in Moscow, Russia, (moved from St. Petersburg,) Mendeleev found the perfect percentage to be 38, but since spirits in his time were taxed on their strength the percentage was rounded up to 40 to simplify the tax computation. At strengths less than this vodka drunk neat (not mixed with other liquids) can taste 'watery' and above this strength the taste of vodka can have more 'burn'. Under US Federal law, the minimum alcohol strength of vodka is also 40% by volume, whilst in Europe the minimum is 37.5% by volume.[citation needed]

Although vodka is generally drunk neat (not mixed with other liquids) in its Eastern European and Scandinavian homeland, its growth in popularity elsewhere owes much to its usefulness in cocktails and other mixed drinks, such as the Bloody Mary, the Screwdriver, the Vodka Tonic, and the Vodka Martini.

Answer 6

Actually, vodka made from potatoes actually makes up a small percentage of the vodka that we drink. Vodka can be distilled from many things including beets, sugar, fruit, milk, whey, honey, etc.

Hope that helps!

Answer 7

In the EU it is usually produced from gain or molasses. In Eastern Europe it is also produced from potatoes or rice. Neutral spirit of at least 96% alcohol by volume, having been checked that it is of the appropriate quality is either redistilled to produce a pure and flavourless spirit or filtered through activated charcoal which removes any residual impurities and odours. The definition of activated charcoal is that which has been treated either by steam or chemicals to make it more absorbent.

Answer 8

Not all of it. I believe that most Vodka is cured from grains, but the smoothest vodka I ever tasted was cured from a potato.

Answer 9

Yes. Some vodka is made from potatoes, molasses, soybeans, grapes, sugar beets and sometimes even byproducts of oil refining or wood pulp processing.

Answer 10

That would depend on where the vodka is made. If it is Russian then its probably made from potatoes.
