Vodka Classics


Vodka ,a clear and transparent form of hard drink ,contains water and ethanol and is prepared by multiple distillations from fermented grain,potatoes or even sugar molasses.However the most classic grains for Vodka hard drink being rye and wheat and the most precious and classic Russian Vodka was prepared from wheat only.The re-distillation of Vodka results in the so called "efficient form "and is a clear,transparent and characterless liquid.To your amazement some of the governments have set a minimum limit of alcohol content for the spirit to be called "Vodka",like some European Unions who have set a minimum 37.5% alcohol by volume.The drink generally has 35-40% alcohol by alcohol and is the most dominant drink of Eastern European counties like Russia,Poland and Sweden .But the ingredients for preparing the drink in all these countries are different.The potatoes which are being used in Poland for the preparation is looked down by their Russian counterparts .Vodka can be flavored by various herbs ,fruits and spices.
As far as the classification of the vodka is concerned ,there is no classification as such.While in Russia it is classified as special which is superior export quality and strong Vodka with 56% alcohol by volume, while in Poland the classification is done as standard,premium and deluxe.In US is is considered as "neutral drink"and the classification is mainly done on the basis of price and alcohol by content.

Feni-The Great Goan Speciality


Feni is the most popular of all drinks in Goa.It is the local speciality among hard drinks and can get the person drunk in negligible time.This domestic indian liquor is of two types.The Coconut Feni and the Cashew Feni.Although coconut feni has its own charm but the cashew Feni comes with a splendid taste and is liked by majority of the tourists and locals .The price is high but the demand is also on the higher side.It is made by fermenting the fruit of the Cashew tree while coconut Feni is made from the juice of toddy plants.Feni is written differently as fenny, fenim or fenni. However it should be pronounced as Fenim. The word feni is derived from the word fenn which means froth. In fact, a good quality feni when poured in a glass produces a little froth, which is an indication of the superior quality of the product.There are over 7,000 shops, bars and taverns in Goa selling feni and other liquors, either wholesale or retail. About 55 per cent of them are in north Goa and 45 per cent in south Goa.

The feni has such a distinct smell that it attracts the attention of the bypassers where it is being prepared.So next time when you visit Goa do not forget to try out this local indian speciality.
