It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the liquid in the bottle is completely transparent. The label must be evenly glued and contain information about the date of bottling, the manufacturing plant and the name of the city where it is located.
Vodka is the most popular strong alcoholic beverage in Russia, which contains purified water and highly purified ethyl alcohol. Sometimes various aromatic flavors are added to the drink, which in some cases are designed to improve the taste of the product, and in others to mask the defects of the drink, to hide the pungency and bitterness of low-grade alcohol.
Criterias of choice
First of all, you should pay attention to the appearance of the bottle. The sticker should be applied to the bottle evenly and neatly, there should be no tears, jams or distortions. A good, high-quality product must have a stamp with information about the date of bottling by the manufacturer. The same date should be on the cap of the bottle, if they do not match, then you should not hope that the contents of the bottle will meet all the required norms and quality standards.
The inscription on the label must be easy to read with mandatory information about the address of the manufacturer. If the name of the city could not be found, then most likely the production plant does not exist at all. A quality product label has a digital code that consists of 7-10 digits. The last two digits of the code are the name of the city in which the manufacturer of this vodka is located. Some companies use additional protection against counterfeiting - they apply a special spraying or cipher paint to the bottle, which is resistant to water.
What else you need to pay attention to
On the color and transparency of the drink. Cloudy content with sediment at the bottom indicates a fake. But a black viscous bloom on the bottom indicates that the container was moving along a conveyor belt, which means that the product was made in an industrial production environment and is trustworthy. You can find out about the presence of impurities and additives by reading the composition: a quality product contains only "corrected" or "specially prepared" water, baking soda, refined sugar and citric acid. Extra vodka also contains potassium permanganate.
If the label says “Silver Purified,” it means that only water has been purified. The mark “purified with milk powder” means that the final product itself, that is, vodka, has been purified. The drink is poured into curly or ordinary bottles with colored or discolored glass. Aluminum is used for the manufacture of the caps. There is a plastic or cardboard spacer inside the cap. The product is transported in boxes, packages or containers in full compliance with the current GOSTs.
