Is there any good information on the topic of "Russian vodka culture" that I need urgently? Thank you.

The origin of vodka, Russians call vodka the God of Russia. It is said that 500 years ago, Russian monks first brewed this liquid as a disinfectant. I don't know which delicious monk stole the first sip of disinfectant, and vodka became the first drink in Russia for the next 500 years. The way Russians drink vodka is never shallow, but a really soft drink. Statistics show that every Russian man "kills" a whole bottle of vodka every two days. In Russia, whether it is a warm family dinner, a happy wedding or a sad funeral, people who drink vodka will be seen.

In fact, the 500-year-old vodka seems to be a witness of Russian history, accompanied by Russians who experienced the monarchical hoof, czar rule, October Revolution, the Great Patriotic War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe and Asia. The bravery of Russian soldiers and their fearlessness to the cold are world-famous, and the role of Volt, which is extremely high and has just caught fire, should be said to have contributed. It is said that in World War II, the Soviet military's meritorious service award was 100 grams of vodka every day.

Russian writer Victor? Erofejeff studied the history of vodka. He called vodka "the God of Russia" and thought that it influenced the fate of Russia to some extent. Erofejeff's point of view sounds sensational, but in fact the name vodka means "water of life" in Russian.

Russian writer Victor? Erofejeff: People in other countries also drink. In Russia, they don't drink. We don't drink vodka. What we drink is our soul and spirit.

Let's talk about Russians and vodka. This is a big topic, hehe! As we all know, Russians love to drink and like to drink. Vodka also has an indissoluble bond with Russians. I don't know if it is a beautiful or doomed love.

Vodka, the Russian word "водка" comes from the Russian word "вода" water. You can literally see that Russians regard vodka as water. People can't live without water and Russians can't live without vodka. Russian vodka currently sold in China is generally called "smirnoff", and it is generally called "Red Card" in China. Other high-end vodka is produced in Finland. There are hundreds of brands of vodka in Russia. Generally speaking, the degree of vodka is not high, most of them are 40%, which is equivalent to the level of 38 degrees in our side, and some are 45%. It is not as powerful as most people think. The biggest difference between vodka and Chinese wine is that vodka is blended while ours is brewed. In other words, no matter how good and expensive vodka is, it is actually water mixed with edible alcohol, so you can't smell any alcohol when you open this bottle of vodka. Not only that, even if a person has drunk a bottle of vodka before and burps in the elevator, people around him can't smell if he is drinking. Therefore, in Russia, the traffic police check drunk driving, which is definitely blowing. It is definitely useless to rely solely on the sense of smell. If it's our China wine, don't mention a bottle. Just one drink and you'll smell like alcohol in no time.

The famous smirnoff wine brand.

So, since vodka is tasteless, how to drink it? The answer is: fuck. A glass of dry draft beer. Because vodka has no taste, the greatest pleasure of drinking is to drink a glass. I have seen Russians drink vodka many times. It's killing me! It's a completely selfless state. China people like to get others drunk when they drink, while Russians like to get themselves drunk when they drink. Therefore, there is no need to persuade wine at the dinner table. If so, be careful whether you have drunk enough wine. The rule of drinking there is that you should always raise your glass to propose a toast, such as wishing you health, happiness and beauty forever. Then I tilted my neck and drank almost a glass of vodka here. There is no such thing as "half-open" over there. It's all a whole cup.

There are more than n kinds of vodka in Russia, so it can be said that this is the hometown of vodka.

But they won't force you. If you start to say no, or say no, no one will force you to drink. It may be that Russians are stupid and practical, and never say no to drink at the beginning, and then kill them before drinking. I remember one time when a group of students were having dinner together, an overseas student from China secretly changed the wine into water, but the Russian students saw it and almost got into a fight. Our Russian teacher said that this kind of behavior was particularly bad in their local area, and not many people died, because they thought it was a complete insult to his personality.

Besides vodka, there are actually many beers in Russia. The famous one is called "Baltic Beer". We also visited this brewery. All the equipment imported from Germany in the factory is very clean. Seen from the outside, this is a particularly modern building. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, you can directly see the production workshop inside. Beer brands have many tastes, from "Baltic No.0" to Baltic No.65438, and the tastes are also from light to heavy. Among them, No.4 beer is dark beer. In addition, there are oat flavor, mint flavor, all kinds of fruit flavor, and even summer flavor and Christmas flavor. I have never tasted it. I wonder what the wind-flavored beer will taste like in summer. Generally, their No.3 beer tastes similar to domestic beer, but according to my observation, No.7 beer is the most sold locally. Obviously, the local people's tastes are heavier than ours.

In fact, Russians don't regard beer as wine in the world. For them, beer should be called alcoholic beverage, so pay attention to it. In their place, only drinking vodka can be called drinking. For example, we drank beer at the dinner table today, which is no different from just drinking juice at the dinner table. Usually, especially in summer, if you walk in the street, you will see more than N people, men and women, each holding a bottle and drinking beer. In front of them, their beer is all in small bottles, which is very suitable for holding in your hand, so it is not surprising that you see beer walking and drinking in your hand in the street! It's all water for drinking vodka, not to mention beer.

If you want to ask if vodka has any famous brands, it's called "smirnoff". This wine is legendary in the local area. It is said that it was invented by a family business and has always been very popular, even becoming exclusive to the royal family. Later, due to the Soviet era, many people in the family were killed and fled to the United States, and the formula was brought to the United States. Therefore, the most authentic "smirnoff" is now. Another brand that I think is not bad is "Russian standard" vodka. According to the local people, this wine tastes the purest, and it is the most Russian vodka, which is equivalent to our national wine "Maotai" in China. If you have the opportunity, you can go to the local area to taste it and feel the Russian style.

"Russian standard brand" vodka, the representative of new vodka.

Because vodka and drinking have also brought a lot of harm to Russia, as I said before, I don't know whether this vodka, which is known as the source of Russian thought and inspiration, is Russian good luck or destiny takes a hand's love? A series of social problems caused by drinking are invading this country, which has become a chronic disease and a "national" of this country. First of all, a large number of men died prematurely because of alcoholism. For example, in our school, this professor often came to class last semester and suddenly disappeared next semester. Then there will be many photos of him in the corridor. Put flowers on the table below, and you will understand. Hang another one. Actually, it is possible that he is only in his fifties. When asked, nine times out of ten it is caused by alcoholism. This is still in the university, and it is even more terrible among the people. Few young people in this generation don't drink, especially social crimes and domestic violence caused by drinking. There are many single-parent families and gangs in Russia, all related to drinking. In the past, a lot of alcoholism was caused by the widening gap between people's hearts after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Nowadays, alcoholism is mostly caused by unfair social distribution and widening gap between the rich and the poor.

Now, like our first-and second-class hospitals in Russia, compulsory detoxification centers have been set up in most places. Moreover, in 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin also issued a total prohibition order, requiring all shops not to sell alcoholic products after 1 1 p.m., or they will be severely punished. I didn't bring a bottle of wine back from my last business trip to Russia, so I stopped selling it in the supermarket. Otherwise, if caught by the police, even the store will be punished according to the time on the store's sales receipt.

However, even so, the effect is minimal. This kind of drinking has been dissolved into the nationality of Russians and cannot be changed overnight. Many Russians have a certain degree of alcohol dependence or alcohol allergy. Just like taking drugs, if you don't let them drink, they will scratch their ears and feel uncomfortable all over, either their hearts are beating too fast or their bodies are swollen. Just drink it.

If we say why vodka makes Russians love it so much, we like it so much. There is also a historical origin. War historians generally say that the Soviet Union defeated Germany in World War II because of its strategy and tactics, wise military commanders and so on. But the Russians will say it's vodka. No vodka, no victory, no victory, no Russia. It is true that in the battles of Moscow and Leningrad, in the severe winter, Soviet soldiers defeated German soldiers who were only shouted by Hitler because they had vodka to keep warm. It is precisely because of this Russian personality, enthusiasm and frankness that it is very consistent with the character of vodka that it is difficult not to combine the two. Vodka stands for success, vodka stands for failure. Russians "make me happy and worried" about vodka.

I'll tell you another trick for a Russian not to get drunk. According to my observation, Russians usually drink white wine standing up because it is easy to ventilate. Then they take a cup, take a breath first, and empty the air in their stomachs, so that they are not easy to get sick. Then they shook their necks and drank a glass of wine, remember! Be sure to be quick, try not to let the wine stay in your mouth for too long, and it is best to pour it directly into your stomach. Then pour a glass of juice prepared by the side in one breath and hold the wine down. Don't let it pick up. I have tried this method, and I can really drink a lot more than usual. It's very helpful for general wine spelling, otherwise our roommate will tease me and say, "ALEX, you are so fierce now that you even drink cold water." . . "Vodka: Vodka (водка) is the national wine of Russian Ross, also known as Odek and Osk. It is also produced in Japan and China. It is the product of extremely cold places. /kloc-in the 20th century, tsarist Russia brewed a kind of "water of life" distilled from rye beer and mead, which can be regarded as the embryonic form of vodka today. Soon after, corn, potatoes and other crops were introduced to Russia and became new raw materials for vodka. /kloc-the method of filtering vodka by birch charcoal layer was established in the 0 th and 8 th centuries. /kloc-in the 0/9th century, with the application of continuous distillers, today's odorless, tasteless, clear and transparent vodka was created.

Authentic vodka has no flavor and aroma of other distilled spirits, so it is the most suitable base wine for cocktails. Cold dry drink is also wonderful, as if ice dissolved in the mouth, and then converted into flame-like heat. Vodka is a famous Russian wine and is also famous in the world. Some westerners simply regard vodka as a synonym for Russia. In the eyes of Russians, men who don't drink are not real men. Russian man said, it is better to let me die than not to drink vodka. Some Russians also ask if they have drunk when they meet, just as we in China often ask "Have you eaten" when we meet, but they don't say it, but express it in body language: the thumb and forefinger of the right hand form a circle, and then the forefinger pops up and bounces to the chin. No wonder foreigners living in Russia compare vodka to the "first wife" of Russian men. Strictly speaking, vodka is roughly equivalent to China's liquor, because it does not refer to a certain brand of liquor, but refers to a kind of liquor in general. In Russia, almost all wines are called vodka. There are dozens of brands of domestic vodka and ten brands imported from Europe. Vodka can be brewed in two ways. One is to treat alcohol with activated carbon to remove impure odor, and then add water to blend. Most vodka sold in the market is blended in this way, with three degrees: 38 degrees, 40 degrees and 42 degrees. Personally, I think this vodka tastes bad and tastes like fake wine. When I was in China, a friend brought vodka back from the Soviet Union and invited some of our classmates to taste it. After drinking the first cup, we felt that it was far from what we expected, and agreed that the vodka brought back by our friends was fake wine. The friend insisted that this was the taste of vodka that Vienna drank. After arriving in Russia, I found that my friend was right. But he was only half right. Because there is another kind of vodka made from grain. This vodka tastes much better than that mixed with alcohol. Crisp and refreshing, with a long aftertaste, basically belongs to the taste we imagined. Unfortunately, this kind of vodka is not sold much in shops. Russians pay more attention to drinking glasses, and ordinary people have all kinds of special glasses for drinking beer, wine, brandy and vodka. Vodka glasses are mostly large glasses of 200-300 ml. Before drinking vodka, it needs to be cooled in the refrigerator. It is said that it tastes better. Russians like to drink vodka in one gulp, which is very generous. Of course, in general, the wine is only poured to about two-thirds of the glass. The first cup is usually done together, and then everyone can drink it at will according to their own capacity. However, Russians never play tricks on drinking, and they are extremely honest. Generally don't persuade wine, try to drink until you are drunk. Russians don't pay much attention to the place where they drink. As long as they want to drink, they don't have to be at home or go to a restaurant. Besides, it costs money. Every afternoon at five or six o'clock, the streets are full of lovely drinkers: girls hold dogs in one hand and beer bottles in the other, and they firmly believe that beer is bread; Men must have vodka in their hands and drink it while walking. In winter, drunkards often freeze to death in the snow, and drunkards who can't find their homes can be seen everywhere in the street. Russians don't pay much attention to food when drinking. Just a sip of wine, a bite of bread and a bite of cheese. Many Russians always take vodka with them when they go out. They don't always have snacks and drinks. If any drinker in the same car or plane has opened delicious smoked sturgeon or sausage, cheese and pickled cucumber, their journey will be more enjoyable. It is said that before 19 17 "October Revolution", some poor people could not afford food by drinking, so they were entitled to eat food by drinking white wine, taking a sip of wine and smelling the greasy cuffs close to their noses. Russians are good at singing and dancing. Most men are very healthy and humorous. Drinking wine will show this character to the fullest. After a few glasses of vodka, you will be very happy, or dance or sing. Then there are all kinds of stories, jokes and tongue twisters, which are full of fun. Drinking at parties between friends usually lasts for three or four hours, and breaks every 1 hour 10 minute. Smokers can go out and smoke for a while. Russian toast is also very interesting. The first toast is to get together, the second to health, and the third to love, love for the motherland, love for the family and love for the wife. In short, let's drink to all love. The next step is to wish peace, friendship and so on. If it is a party or a friend's house, the last cup should be dedicated to the hostess to express her appreciation for her superb cooking and thank her for her hard work. It is said that Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't like vodka, which is rare in Russian politics. He likes to drink beer and only drinks vodka on formal occasions or at the insistence of his friends. Former President Yeltsin can be said to be the most loyal defender of vodka. He not only likes to drink vodka, but also drinks it often, one liter at a time. Stroyev, Speaker of the House of Lords, rarely drinks alcohol and only looks for one brand of vodka. He is very particular about drinking, the drinking utensils must be exquisite, and his snacks must be delicious, so his nickname is "Brewmaster". Seleznyov, Speaker of the House of Commons, is just the opposite. He can drink well, but as long as it is domestic vodka, he is not picky about what he eats, and it is enough to chew Chinese cabbage raw.

Russian Vodka As early as 988, Archduke Vladimir declared: "Drinking is a great pleasure for Russians." Today, a thousand years later, Russians still enjoy it, and their alcohol consumption is greater than that of any other European country-the per capita consumption is almost three times that of every British person.

Russian vodka is the national wine of Russia. "Russian vodka" means "almost no water" and is generally believed to have been invented by Russian monks in the14th century. Russian vodka is made of filtered water and pure alcohol. It's best to drink it without water, preferably frozen. After drinking it in one gulp, you usually have a bite of pickled cucumber or a bite of brown bread-it is said that this will help the wine enter the stomach smoothly.

The ingredients of Russian vodka produced for commercial purposes are similar: Russian "Capital" brand contains a little syrup, Russian "Moscow" brand adds one or two drops of vinegar, and Russian "Wheat" brand is made of distilled potatoes. Other Russian brands have injected lemon oil, pepper and wild grass.

Comparatively speaking, the "Moonlight" brand, the ingredient of home brewing, is not so particular. Basically, all available raw materials are used. Rye, wheat, sugar and potatoes are all selected ingredients, but Russians are also very good at making wine with toothpaste, shoe polish-even cockroach powder. Journalists covering the Chechen war were puzzled by the Russians' demand for color film. In fact, color film is an important raw material for them to make special Russian vodka.

Peter the Great's Russian soldiers can get two glasses of wine every day according to his decree. Peter also established a state monopoly mechanism for Russian vodka production and used the proceeds to pay for the war. Today, the tax on Russian vodka has exceeded the income tax: in Moscow, Russia alone, one million bottles can be sold in one day. Russia plans to raise the base price of vodka by 201June1June 14:27:40 Source: Xinhuanet Xinhuanet, June 9 th Russians are famous for their heavy drinking, and each person drinks 18 liters of pure alcohol on average every year. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev ordered the strengthening of anti-alcoholism measures last year. Russian Finance Ministry officials said on the 9th that the government is considering doubling the minimum price of vodka. Russia set the lowest price for vodka this year 1 month, which is 89 rubles per half liter (1 US$ 32 rubles). The Russian Ministry of Finance intends to gradually raise the minimum price of vodka to 200 rubles within three years from next year. Sergei Shatalov, deputy finance minister, said: "Vodka should not be sold cheaply. It is not the most indispensable product. " However, AFP quoted an analyst from the Russian Foreign Trade Bank as saying that after this policy takes effect, market integration will accelerate, small wine merchants may be forced to quit, and the market will be dominated by a few powerful big wine merchants, and vodka consumption will hardly be affected. Another possible consequence of the increase in the price of vodka is the intensification of alcohol smuggling, which leads to a decrease in tax revenue. Some experts also pointed out that Russian wine merchants have strong influence in the government and parliament, so it is hard to say whether this policy can be passed. The ultimate standard of Russian vodka

Just as the word "vodka" means "water of life" in the mother tongue, it has been regarded as a legendary drink that can best represent the spirit of the Russian nation for 500 years since its birth, and it has always burned the blood and life of the Russian nation to the maximum extent, witnessing history and legend. It takes crops grown in the worst environment in the world as its skeleton, the eternal ice and snow melted in Lake Ladoga as its soul, and it is spotless by distillation technology that has reached the artistic level. Only by pouring it into the cup in the most elegant and quiet way can people feel its magic with the tip of their tongue, throat, breath and every tiny cell of their bodies. Time makes glory, and legend makes eternity. The unique brand logo and patterned bottle shape of "Russian Standa Original Vodka" originated from the 200-ton clock ordered by Russian Tsar Anna I, which is located at the foot of the bell tower of Ivan the Great in Moscow, symbolizing the strong Russian atmosphere contained in the wine. The label of the bottle is printed with the signature of Dimitri Mendeleev, which indicates the pure origin and precision technology of "original taste of Stendhal vodka". The packaging made by famous Italian craftsmen vividly reflects the profound heritage of Russian culture. This vodka is made of wheat grown in Russian Siberian steppe, and its precious protein is gathered due to its slow growth. Adding dissolved water from Lake Ladoga glacier, which is known as "the softest and purest in the world", after four stages of different processes, eight distillations and up to four times of filtration in charcoal and timely, a pure natural wine with a concentration of 40% without any impurities and chemicals was obtained. Key words: The most advanced brewery is the mother of this bottle of wine and the most technologically advanced vodka production center in Russia. The brand-new St. Petersburg Brewery, which costs 60 million dollars, brings together the most advanced distillation and filtration technology and the rich experience of Russian winemakers in a unique way, showing the brilliant future of Russian vodka. Keywords: Mendeleev's perfect balance. Interestingly, the recipe of this bottle of wine was invented by the famous chemist Dimitri Mendeleev in 1894. His name is always associated with the periodic table of elements, but the formula obtained through his rigorous analysis has also become a much-told story in the history of Russian wine. According to his formula, "Russian Standa" accurately matches the 40% alcohol standard, and ensures Mendeleev's perfect balance through the 48-hour aging process. Key words: Glacier Water+Winter Wheat "Russian Standa" is brewed from wheat grown in the Siberian steppe of Russia. This kind of wheat is an ideal raw material for producing vodka, because it grows slowly and gathers precious protein during its growth. Vodka brewed from this wheat is of high quality and pure taste. After that, pure glacial soft water obtained from frozen areas in northern Russia was used to dilute alcohol, and almost all impurities could be removed from the wine after up to four times of filtration in charcoal and wine. Key words: the original Russian Stendhal "Russian Stendhal" conforms to Mendeleev's original formula, tastes super smooth and pure, and retains the mellow characteristics of Russian traditional vodka, which is the best interpretation of Russian traditional vodka. The other two "Platinum" and "Commander", the vodka brewed by the former's unique silver filtration system is particularly pure, with excellent taste and gorgeous packaging, which can not only satisfy the discerning eyes of professional sommeliers, but also satisfy the pleasure brought by fashion cocktail parties; The latter uses ultra-pure glacier soft water from the north, and after eight distillation processes and unique crystal timely filtration, the color is ultra-pure and the taste is silky, reflecting the attractive vitality of modern Russia.
