Vodka is a clear distilled alcoholic beverage that originates from Poland and Russia. It is composed primarily of water and ethanol, but sometimes with traces of impurities and flavorings. Traditionally it is made by distilling the liquid from cereal grains or potatoes that have been fermented, though some modern brands use fruits or sugar as the base.
Craft Vodka may be distilled from any starch- or sugar-rich plant matter; most vodka today is produced from grains such as sorghum, corn, rye, or wheat. Among grain vodkas, rye and wheat vodkas are generally considered superior. Some vodkas are made from potatoes, molasses, soybeans, grapes, rice, sugar beets, and sometimes even byproducts of oil refining or wood pulp processing.
American Distilling Institute and American Craft Spirits Association defines a craft blender as independently-owned and operating a facility that uses any combination of traditional and/or innovative techniques such as fermenting, distilling, re-distilling, blending, infusing, or warehousing to create products with a unique flavor profile.

The global Craft Vodka Market is primarily driven due to the rising number of craft distilleries worldwide. The rise in the number of craft distilleries worldwide, especially in the US and the UK, has led to the increasing availability of craft vodka globally, which is driving the growth of the global craft vodka market. Market players are developing innovative products using a wide variety of ingredients to cater to changing consumer preferences.
The growth of alcoholic beverages such as craft vodka is driven by an increase in the global young‐adult demographic, a surge in disposable income, and a rise in consumer demand for premium/super-premium craft vodka. In addition, new market strategies and creative packaging have been introduced by manufacturers. For instance, Finlandia uses Austrian Glass in order to denote an appearance of class in their vodka.

Craft Vodka Market Segmentation
By Distiller type, the global Craft Vodka Market is segmented into large distiller type, Medium distiller type, and small distiller type.
The large craft distiller segment will account for the highest craft vodka market share because of the benefits such as high production volume which helps in generating high revenues. Craft vodka is distilled at a high proof from a fermented vegetable or grain mash. Proof is a measurement of the alcohol content. Each degree of proof equals a half percent of alcohol. Thus, 100 proof is that which contains 50% alcohol, 90 proof contains 45%, and so on. Because distilled vodka can have proof as high as 145, all taste and odor have been eliminated, making vodka a neutral spirit. Water is added to bring the proof down to a range between 80 and 100.
By Product type, the global Craft Vodka Market is segmented into flavored craft vodka and unflavored vodka. Flavored has become very popular in last decade and therefore, holds a significant share in the market. The craft distillers focus on the use of different spices, fruits, herbs, and botanicals to produce innovative craft vodka. They procure raw materials from family-owned farming houses that have strong experience in producing grains and fruits.
