Vodka takes its very name from the diminutive of the Russian word for water, voda. Traditionally popular as a versatile cocktail mixer, valued mainly for a pure absence of flavor, it is being reinvented for a new in crowd of drinkers as a luxury spirit to rival vintage cognacs and champagnes. A tipple of choice for people who drink Perrier at power lunches.
"Vodka has an understated elegance,"It's an easy drink - smooth, light - but retains a definitive and powerful kick."
"Consumers of luxury goods want to purchase not only the product but also the experience, the impression and the image, a U.S. company formed last year "to create, develop and market unique imported luxury products to sophisticated consumers throughout the world," as the company's introductory press release said.
Transborder's first product is Diaka, a rye-based Polish vodka produced using a patented diamond filtration process that the company says uses nearly 100 cut diamonds, of as much as one carat in size. Diaka vodka hit the market, at a planned retail price of $100 per Swarovzki crystal-encrusted bottle.
Diaka, a cocktail of a name with two ingredients, diamond and vodka, is produced by the Polish company Polmos Siedlce, which also makes a potato-based Chopin Vodka.
Diva Vodka
The most expensive drinks list will eventually come to dovka. Diva Vodka, produced by the Blackwood Distillery in Scotland is the world’s most expensive vodka. Depending on your choice of “crystal decoration” the price of a single varies from £35 to a staggering £540,000!
Diva Premium Vodka is a perfect tribute to all beautiful divas. Vodka is meant to make you feel relaxed, unconscious by departing you from your material tensions and taking you to a world of pixies. Alright, but spending $1 million to do away with the gloominess of life is raising eyebrows.
Here is a seemingly good justification. It must be for those who are going through the actually tough-time of life that the very thought of living becomes a secondary issue for them. Got confused! I am just kidding. There are interested people who would love to spend $1million on a single bottle of vodka.
Against the Diaka Vodka made in Poland that was flaunted as the world’s most expensive Vodka (no info about price), today we have Diamond-filtered, the Diva Vodka by Blackwood Distillers, a Scotland based company. Refined thrice, this ice-filtered undergoes a disciplined process. First, the vodka is filtered is via Nordic birch charcoal and then flowed through a chunk of trampled diamonds and gems to offer it a stylish look and feel. The price per bottle of Diva Premium Vodka varies from $3,700 and $1 million, on the basis of usage of the valuable stones in the bottle.The idea of paying bulky sum of $1 million for a mere vodka bottle is insane. But the interesting part is knowingly people love to enjoy this insanity.

The filtration process of the vodka is why it is so exclusive.

(NewsUSA) - You've seen vodka made with vanilla, raspberry and even pepper. But for those with caviar tastes, one company has introduced a new twist: diamonds.
New to the premium vodka category is DIAKA (an acronym for "diamond vodka"), which is imported from Poland and filtered with actual diamonds.
"Vodka constitutes the largest segment of the U.S. liquor market, and high-end vodka continues to grow at a blistering pace," said Rudy N. Vogel, chief executive officer and founder of New York-based TransBorder Marketing Inc., the company that created DIAKA.
Vogel says the vodka's special filtration process will entice consumers to try DIAKA and ultimately keep them coming back for more.
This patented "Double Diamond Filtration Process" uses nearly 100 diamonds up to 1 carat in size. The diamonds are housed in a large glass tube into which the vodka flows. Through centrifugal force, the diamonds swirl through the tube and actually "cut" the molecules of the vodka.
The vodka then passes through the bottom of the tube, wherein lies a comb filter encased with tiny diamond chips. This two-step process enhances the smoothness, clarity and palate of the vodka, yielding an end-product that so far is unavailable anywhere else in the world, according to Vogel.
"We are poised to take the ultra premium vodka category to a new level of taste and sophistication," Vogel said.
Vodka accounts for more than 25 percent of all U.S. spirits sales, according to Beverage Dynamics, an industry publication. In 2004, more than 44 million 9-liter cases of vodka were sold in the U.S., a 6 percent gain over 2003.
