Wodka Gorbatschow

Wodka Gorbatschow is one of Germany's most iconic and best-selling vodka brands. The brand's history began in Berlin in 1921 when Leontowitsch Gorbatschow, who had fled Russia during the October Revolution, founded the company to produce vodka using his family's traditional Siberian recipe. The brand's distinctive 'onion dome' bottle shape and blue label have since become unmistakable symbols of its heritage.

In 1960, the brand was acquired by Henkell & Co., which helped transform it into a national leader in the German spirit market. Despite its Russian-sounding name and origins, the product is and has been a quintessentially German brand for over a century. Today, it is produced in Berlin, remaining true to its roots while being a flagship product of the Henkell Freixenet portfolio.

The brand is currently owned by Henkell Freixenet, which is the sparkling wine, wine, and spirits division of the Oetker Group. This ownership ensures that Wodka Gorbatschow maintains a dominant presence in Europe and continues to be produced according to strict quality standards, including the brand's signature quadruple cold-filtration process.
