How America Fell in Love With Vodka

Alcoholic spirits are put through a distillation process that involves the spirit being distilled from fermented grains, fruits, or vegtables. Sometimes alcohol spirits are malted, distilled, aged or distilled, filtered and aged. Aging is not done everytime on every alcoholic spirit.

I prefer my alcohol brown, as opposed to clear. American whiskey, brandy and rum fall into my preferred category, while vodka, gin and ouzo would not. Of course, if you'e buying I may not be that picky.

This week, a look at how America fell in love with vodka.

TTFN, Fred.

Quote of the week: "As a scientist, I am not sure anymore that life can be reduced to a class struggle, to dialectical materialism, or any set of formulas. Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable, it is magical. I think that we have struggled so hard with the tangible that we have forgotten the intangible." - Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Zarya, 1994
