23 Most Expensive Vodka Bottles To Drink With Your Friends
In fact, vodka is nothing but ethanol mixed with water, in the proportion of 40/60. Traditionally, vodka is considered to be of Russian origin. At the same time, Poland and Sweden also pretend to be the birthplace of this distilled beverage. Since vodka contains only two ingredients such as alcohol and water, it’s complicated to realize how this mixture might cost a lot of money.
Nonetheless, there are plenty of brands that managed to make vodka a cult alcohol beverage. As a result, the market is full of elite vodka at different prices. However, you can’t even imagine how expensive the vodka could cost. Are you ready to sell your watches, car, or even a house to drink a bottle of vodka produced by a famous brand with your friends? Let’s take a look at the most expensive vodka bottles in the world.
