Vodka may be distilled from any [[starch]]- or [[sugar]]-rich plant matter; most vodka today is produced from [[Cereal|grains]] such as [[sorghum]], [[maize|corn]], [[rye]] or [[wheat]]. Among grain vodkas, rye and wheat vodkas are generally considered superior. Some vodkas are made from [[potato]]es, [[molasses]], [[soybean]]s, [[grape]]s, [[rice]], [[sugar beet]]s and sometimes even byproducts of oil refining or wood pulp processing. In some Central European countries, such as Poland, some vodka is produced by just fermenting a solution of crystal sugar and yeast. In the [[European Union]] there are talks about the standardization of vodka, and the [[Vodka Belt]] countries insist that only spirits produced from grains, potato and sugar beet molasses be allowed to be branded as "vodka", following the traditional methods of production.<ref name=reuters>[http://www.flexnews.com/pages/5412/European_Union/Spirits/eu_farm_chief_warns_legal_action_vodka_row.html "EU Farm Chief Warns of Legal Action in Vodka Row"],{{dead link|date=June 2011}} a 25 October 2006 [[Reuters]] article</ref><ref name=stubb>[[Alexander Stubb]], [http://web.archive.org/web/20070808013139/http://www.alexstubb.com/artikkelit/bw_vodka.pdf The European Vodka Wars], a December 2006 ''[[Blue Wings (magazine)|Blue Wings]]'' article</ref>
 
In the United States, many vodkas are made from 95% ethanol produced in large quantities by agricultural-industrial giants [[Archer Daniels Midland]] and Midwest Grain Processors. Bottlers purchase the base spirits in bulk, then filter, dilute, distribute and market the end product under a variety of vodka brand names.<ref>{{cite news|last=Nasaw|first=Daniel|title=Why are there so many brands of vodka on sale?|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18360315|accessdate=14 July 2012|newspaper=BBC News|date=7 June 2012}}</ref>
