What is vodka made from?!
It starts out the same way beer or wine does...the starches from the grain is converted to sugars with enzymes (but cane sugar and grape based vodkas obviously get to skip this step) and then yeast is added to convert the sugars into alcohol...at this stage, it's known as either "wash" or "distiller's beer." The wash is then put in a still where it is distilled multiple times and then carbon filtered in order to get the purest alcohol possible. Then it's cut with water to become the desired strength (most common is 40% alcohol by volume (abv) or 80 proof).
Answers: If you visit your local liquor store and read the labels on bottles of vodka, you'll notice that the majority read "distilled from grain." Grain is the most common source of vodka, though it can be made from many things: potatoes (more uncommon than most people realize), sugar cane, grapes, and other things. Each bottle will have it written somewhere on it. Grey Goose is from grain, Ciroc is made from grapes. Others like Chopin and Blue Ice are from potatoes. Still, the overwhelming majority is from grain (corn, barley, wheat, rye, etc.) because it's the least expensive source.

Usually potatoes.
Potatoes if it's real vodka. Cheaper brands use only the skin.
its usually made from a grain. The majority of Vodka made for the US is from Rey or Wheat, very few are made from potato.
vodka may be made from virtually anything, vodkas can be found made from grapes, soy, beets, potatoes, and corn, in addition to the more common wheat and rye varieties.
r u a sill billy lol! its tatties if ye are scottish but if you come from anywhere else then it is potatoes hahaha!
Vodka can be made from just about anything. I have seen barley, rice, wheat, potato, and corn vodka. Most is wheat, the super high end stuff is usually potatoes.
rotting potatoes
fermenting begins with potatoes which has starch that makes the alcohol in vodka. However, really good vodka, which makes it expensive, is distilled not like the stuff you find on liquor store shelves. Although some liquor stores do sell the good quality but really good vodka comes from local sellers i.e. in Europe or somewhere in that viscinity.
its made from gods tears... thats why its so good for you
