SVEDKA Vodka has been making its mark since it was first imported in 1998. It's now the 2nd largest imported vodka and the #7 spirit brand in the United States, and its popularity keeps growing. Imported to the U.S. from Sweden - a country that has been perfecting vodka for centuries - SVEDKA Vodka is proudly named after its country of origin. SVEDKA is a mix of the word 'Svenska' (meaning 'Swedish') and 'Vodka' (derived from the Slavic word 'vodka'). As these two words are combined, SVEDKA is a name as catchy as it is clever - fitting for a brand renowned for its character, quality, and value
