每天一分钟,我们一起玩转世界文化。欧洲人喝伏特加酒已经几个世纪了,他们通常不加冰,而是用一个小小的酒杯一饮而尽。伏特加可以从多种不同的原料中蒸馏出来,然而品质最好的伏特加通常是从单一的原料中蒸馏出来的,例如小麦,黑麦或马铃薯。

Linda, what do you fancy to drink? A beer or a glass of wine? To be honest, I'm sick of both. I want to try something different. This bar is famous for its vodka, you know. They've got many different flavours, even chocolate, which should be suitable for a chocoholic like you. I'm not sure if I like the taste of vodka, and it's very strong too. It's from Russia, isn't it? Yes, but they make it in other countries too, such as Finland and Sweden. It says here that they sell Russian, flavoured vodka. Oh, they make it from grain. I thought they made it from potatoes! I think in the past they made it from lots of different things. Look here, there's a pamphlet with a brief history. "As early as the beginning of the 16th century burning wine was brought not to Russia, but from it. It was the first experience of the Russian export of vodka that later would take over the whole world". Yes, you can buy it everywhere now! It also says here that they distill it four times. That seems like a lot. And even in the 1700s they were making many weird and wonderful flavours. Every landowner had his own special one.
