The Russians have convinced you they originated Vodka? It’s from Poland - the birthday of “Wodka”, aka Vodka.

/Or so my Polish friends tell me.

Tell your Polish friends that, if the Poles invented vodka, the Lithuanians had most to do with it . . . watch the fireworks erupt. :)

Myself, I no longer care what country it's from, but I definitely prefer the vodkas distilled from wheat, over the other types.
