Alas to distinguish "fake" vodka from normal happens quite difficult. Nevertheless, there are certain ways allowing to make a right choice of this alcoholic drink.
Buy vodka in the checked places
Buy vodka in good shops. In large supermarkets, hypermarkets, specialized or brand stores it is almost impossible to buy a fake. And here in tents near the subway, doubtful eateries, basement little shops and in spontaneously arising markets the probability to buy a counterfeit is rather high. Choose famous brands and brands, such vodka is more expensive, but the chance to buy a fake is significantly lower. Buying vodka in the checked, correct shops, attentively study the label of a bottle.
Pay attention to excise stamps. In 2014 at bottles of vodka there have to be excise stamps of blue color whom container capacity is indicated. Such brands are applied on drinks with a strength from thirty eight to fifty six degrees. But you shouldn't rely only on excise stamps as now it is easy to forge them. Attentively examine a container which contains drink.
Pay attention to a container and labels
Many manufacturing companies use special signature bottles for a vodka flood. These bottles possess in characteristic color and a form, besides at their bottoms usually there are engravings with lot numbers and date of production of drink. The fake of such bottles demands serious financial investments that is absolutely unprofitable to producers of a counterfeit. So in most cases counterfeit vodka "disappears" in the simplest and inconspicuous bottles. To secure itself against a fake, it is enough to choose vodka in a signature container, checking existence of an engraving at the bottom. Examine the label and a cap, they have to be signature. Deformation of a cap or stopper can indicate a fake. Besides, if the cap is freely scrolled around a neck or doesn't separate from thin metal continuation, it, most likely, too is signs of a fake. The label has to be exactly and is smoothly pasted, under its surface there shouldn't be air bubbles or drops of glue. Glue is applied with a thin layer on all surface of the label. Surely check date of production, it is specified on each bottle. Rub date a finger if it isn't erased and isn't washed away, the inscription means it is put with the laser printer that indicates that vodka real. If the inscription "floated", it was made the ordinary printer, and it speaks about a counterfeit.
