In Russian vodka, in addition to the Soviet red card, another brand that has to be said is Smirnoff.
 
In 1864, Smirnoe was founded in Moscow by Pyotr Smirnov. In the early years of its existence, Smirnot flourished in Moscow, and it was reported at the time that Smirno was the Tsar's favorite wine. In 1933, Smirno began to set up factories in North America to produce and sell it, and at that time, Americans were accustomed to drinking whiskey and were not familiar with vodka, so Smirne's sales were not ideal. In an attempt to reverse this, producers labelled their products as "white whiskey" and switched to cork, after which sales increased dramatically and Smirno gradually gained acceptance in the US market. During World War II, the "Russian" way of life became popular in the United States, and Smirnó vodka became very popular. Now, Smirno has been the world's No. 1 seller for many years in a row, and it is a well-deserved vodka giant brand.
 
The raw material used in Smirno is a mix of grains, including wheat, barley malt and corn; It is usually triple distilled and ten times filtered. The products include neutral vodka and flavored vodka, the alcohol content of neutral vodka varies from 40%, and most of the wine labels have digital identification, such as NO.21, NO.27, NO.55, NO.57;
 
Today, when vodka is becoming more and more in pursuit of taste, Smirnot still maintains a variety of neutral vodkas. The flagship Smirnoff Red, or Smirnoff Red Label, is numbered 21 and has the iconic bright red label. This red label has an alcohol content of 40%, a small amount of charcoal and black pepper in the smell, and it tastes pure and has a subtle mineral taste, and finally brings out a bit of mint freshness, and there is a clear alcohol irritation in the throat. Over the years, this wine has won numerous awards in competitions and is a classic. In addition, because it is pure enough, it is also loved by bartenders.
 
The other Black Vodka, also known as the Smirnot Black Label, has an alcohol content of 40% and is only produced in the UK. It has a smoother and warmer taste than the red label and is often considered to be Smirno's advanced neutral vodka.
 
Most of the items in the flavouring range are based on Red Label vodka, flavoured with fruit juice or corresponding flavours (e.g. coffee, vanilla). Over the years, the Smirnoe seasoning series has been updated frequently, with a total of 39 kinds of flavors, and a number of high-scoring excellent products have also been born. The vanilla, green apple and citrus flavors all have a good reputation. With proper seasoning, the original light taste of Red Label vodka becomes pleasant and has a better taste, so it is suitable for clean drinking, and consumers who have not tried vodka can easily accept it.
 
At present, red and black label products can be bought online in China, but there are fewer seasoning products. The price of the Smirno red card on Jingdong is 59 yuan, which is cost-effective and suitable for beginners.
