Difference Between Vodka and Liquor, What is the Difference Between Vodka and Liquor

First of all, the difference between liquor and vodka.

Baijiu is brewed from various grains such as sorghum, rice, wheat, and corn through a series of complex processes such as cooking, saccharification, fermentation, distillation, aging, and blending. Because it is an open fermentation and uses a lot of microorganisms, baijiu contains not only ethanol, but also aldehydes, lipids, alcohols, acids and other compounds.

Vodka is a liquor made from corn and potatoes by rectification, and the base alcohol content can reach about 96%. Then, through a series of methods such as activated carbon, "filtration" and "impurity removal" are carried out to obtain a very pure ethanol solution, and then the finished vodka of about 40-60 degrees is obtained by blending with distilled water.

Seeing this, I believe many people have found that vodka is very similar to the alcoholic liquor brewed by the liquid method in our country. Alcoholic liquor has a very low status in the country, and is far less popular than pure grain liquor. Internationally, however, it is the opposite, vodka shines on various occasions, while our liquor is relatively obscure, and few people drink it.

Vodka, drink it to make you pure and think nothing. Enjoy life.

Liquor, drink into the five flavors of miscellaneous, let you think of the old father and mother on the top, think of the cry to be fed below, and think of the leader and customers on the left. On the right, I saw my colleague and the old Wang next door.

Overall, the vodka was drunk and the taste was purer than water! It's not at all like what a 40-proof wine should look like, like an isolated clone.

There are too many varieties of Chinese liquor, and no one liquor can represent all Chinese liquor, and neither can the national liquor! In general, it all depends on your choice when you drink Chinese liquor!

The subject is not clear, there are so many kinds of liquor, it is better to compare or clarify a certain one.

Vodka is a foreign bar, while baijiu is unique to us in China.

One: the difference in brewing raw materials

Liquor: Liquor can be made from any raw material containing starch and fermentable sugars. Grains:

sorghum, corn, barley; Potatoes: sweet potato, cassava; Sugary raw materials: sugarcane and sugar beet residue, waste molasses, etc.

Substitute raw materials: sorghum bran, rice bran, bran, rice water, starch residue, sweet potato abductor, beet head and tail, acorn, Jerusalem artichoke, pear, golden cherry seed, etc. Commonly used auxiliary materials are rice husk, grain bran, corn cob, sorghum husk, peanut skin, etc.

Vodka: Can be made from any fermentable ingredient, such as potatoes, corn, barley, rye, wheat, beets, grapes and even sugar cane.

Two: the difference in brewing process

Liquor: Distilled liquor made by cooking, saccharification, fermentation and distillation with grains as the main raw material, large koji, small koji or bran koji and liquor mother as saccharification starter agents. The alcohol content is high, and after storage and aging, it has a compound flavor with esters as the main body.

The alcohol content is generally 38 to 65 degrees.

Vodka: A high-alcohol beverage with a variety of grains (potatoes, corn) as raw materials, repeated distillation, refining and filtration to remove toxins and other foreign substances contained in alcohol, and the alcohol concentration of vodka will not be aged again after it is determined, and it will be bottled immediately**. The alcohol content is generally 40° 50°

Three: the difference in composition

Baijiu: The main components of baijiu are ethanol and water (accounting for 98%-99% of the total), and many trace organic compounds (accounting for 1%-2% of the total) such as acids, esters, alcohols, and aldehydes dissolved in it are used as the aroma and flavor substances of baijiu, but they determine the style and quality of baijiu.
