The History of Vodka

Vodka in Russia is a whole culture rather than just a drink. It’s hard to overestimate the role of vodka in different historical periods. After vodka became an object of trade, there were times when its production and sales would make one of the key incomes of the Russian budget.

Vodka as we know it today was consumed much earlier than D.I. Mendeleev invented the unique proportion of water and spirits that gives the desired 40 % alc. Russian people experimented with the preparation of this drink for decades, and they were always close to that exact proportion that Dmitriy Mendeleev eventually proved officially correct. Today vodka is popular world-wide. It’s one of the unofficial symbols of Russia that our company is proud of.

We are happy to offer you the updated product line of the Liviz Company. The Motto of our company is “In Chime with Nature”. It fully reflects the production process as the organic compounds used for making strong alcohol do not go through any chemical treatment. Continuing to play a key role in the Russian national cuisine, nowadays Liviz produces exceptionally natural vodka.

Liviz is the only vodka distillery which has over 40 patents in the alcohol distillation technology. Our specialists are always inventing unique technologies which improve the quality of the alcohol rectification, the water filtration and the final product quality overall for more than one hundred years.

The water of the North-West region of Russia is considered to be one of the best in the world for vodka production. In vodka production the Liviz Company uses water from Ladozhskoe Lake, that goes through numerous levels of filtration. Scientists consider it to be perfect for strong alcohol production due to its natural softness. This unique feature is reflected in our products flavor quality: all vodkas are pleasant and easy to drink. Nice warmth and slightly bitter aftertaste brings the atmosphere of coziness, comfort and smooth communication.
