'''Vodka''' is a distilled [[spirit]] with a high [[alcohol]] content that can be produced from a number of different vegetables and grains and possesses different characteristics depending on the creator. Most vodka produced these days is made from a [[grain]], though some is still made from [[potato]]es. The exact history of vodka is unknown, though it most likely originated somewhere in the region of [[Poland]] or [[Russia]] between the 13th and 14th centuries. The word is thought to derive from Russian, meaning roughly ''little water''.

The majority of vodkas produced today for consumption in the [[United States]] and Western [[Europe]] are made from either [[wheat]] or [[rye]] and are heavily filtered. By law, in these regions, vodka cannot have a distinctive color, smell, or [[flavor]]. It is, in many ways, a pure spirit, which is one reason it is so popular in mixed drinks and as a base alcohol for flavored spirits.
