Have you ever wondered where vodka really came from?

You might think that vodka originated in Russia; however, after checking out some information, our group has found some good information on what has really happened.It would seem that not only Russia is defending the idea that vodka originated there, but Poland has some claim of its own to say that it originated there. In fact,  we even go further back in time and we would find that  the Persians also lay claim to making vodka first.

So, on the next blog we will stablish the data we have found to reintegrate the hipothesis of where it actually originated from and what country has the right to say that vodka belongs to it.

The Polish and Russian's both argue that vodka is their discovery although there are also historical indications that the original Vodka may also have come from Persia.

In the 8th century, the polish left wine out over winter to freeze and discovered strong alcohol. The first identifiable Polish vodkas appeared in the 11th century when they were called 'gorzalka' .It was used as a medicine until the 15th century.

In 1405 the polish declare vodka was originally produced and then distributed to Russia.

Russian's proclaim production of vodka started in the 9th century; however it is not until the 11th century the first recognized Vodka was distilled in Khynovsk.

Until the 15th century distilled liquor was only used for medicinal purposes.

Other sources point out that the first to obtain liquid similar to vodka were doctors in Persia (now Iran) in XI century.
