What is Vodka?
Vodka is a clear, distilled alcoholic beverage traditionally made from fermented grains such as wheat, rye, or barley, but it can also be distilled from potatoes, corn, and other ingredients. The distillation process removes most impurities, resulting in a neutral taste and high alcohol content. Vodka is popular worldwide and is often used as a base for cocktails.

Why People Avoid Vodka
People may avoid vodka due to dietary restrictions, such as celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, even though the distillation process typically removes gluten. However, some flavored vodkas may have gluten-containing ingredients added back after distillation, posing a risk for those avoiding gluten. Additionally, individuals may avoid alcohol for health, religious, or personal reasons.
