Roskachestvo conducted research (available at ” Lenta.ru “) vodka and named the best brands. It was attended by 23 samples from 14 manufacturers of different price categories – from 200 to 1554 rubles for a 0.5 liter bottle.
All tested samples were found to be safe, regardless of the price, some of them had organoleptic (taste) deficiencies. Experts came to the conclusion that the quality of vodka does not depend on the cost.
Samples under the brands “Taiga” and “Finsky Led” showed an increased content of sulfates, which does not contradict GOST, but does not meet the leading requirements of Roskachestvo.
When studying samples under the trademarks “Posolskaya” and “Measured milk”, experts doubted that the vodka was purified with milk, as indicated on the package. The reason for this judgment was the low content of calcium and magnesium.
According to the results of the study, the vodka of the Ptichka Titmouse, Severnoe Zoloto, Russkaya, Severnaya Zemlya and Kristall brands was recognized as the cheapest vodka of quality (costing from 230 to 250 rubles per 0.5 liter).
The experts named the most high-quality expensive (priced from 390 to 1000 rubles) “Pure Dew”, Gallant, “Stoparik”, “White Birch” and “Moskovskaya”.
The first place in the combined rating without taking into account the price was taken by vodka under the brand “Bird titmouse”. Also in the top three were “Kristall” and “Stolichnaya Kristall”.
