EU strictness: Polish vodka can be made of only potatoes and grain

The Polish government has strengthened the production rules of spirits, including the Polish vodka, in line with EU standards. Producers are protesting against the new standards.

According to the Polska Wódka/Polish Vodka draft legislation approved by the government on Tuesday, spirits cannot be made of corn or triticale in the future. Traditionalists have been demanding for a long time that the “Polish vodka” designation to be applied on spirits made of only from potatoes and rye. The producers strongly oppose the change – reports MTI.
