Vodka in Russia takes on a variety of meanings. Its consumption can be conducive to relaxation, invigoration, recovery, drinking to bortherhood (Brüderschaft), and any other reason (excuse) one may find for drinking. Already centuries ago it was well known across Europe that the Russians loved their vodka. Several years now, a museum in St. Petersburg is dedicated solely to vodka and its history, offering not only the viewing of a medieval distillery but also new perspectives on the course of its world history. Following the visit to the museum you will join the guide, who himself is an author and has published several books on this topic, at a restaurant. As a perfect base for the tasting of different exquisite vodkas you will be served zakuski (Russian appetizers) typically served with vodka in Russia. You of course have the opportunity to ask an4y type of questions with regard to its culture, history and consumption you might have.
