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。

What's this flavour? Bird cherry and sage? I don't think you can buy that one nowadays. I wonder which rich landowner decided on that flavour. Look at this, before 1885 vodka was sold only in buckets measuring 12.3 litres. Who could drink that much vodka? Don't worry. Here we can just buy it in a shot, a single measure of about 25 millilitres. That sounds better. In 1953 the Moscow Special was awarded a gold medal at an international exhibition in Switzerland. That's the one they have here, now we call it Stolichnaya. So, Linda which flavour are you going to try? They've got various fruits, like strawberry, peach, pear and this one. Chili flavour! That sounds a bit hot for me! I think I'll start with the chocolate after all, then I might try another one.
