Obscure Vodka Fact #6

Charka: an old Russian measure of liquids used for vodka retail sales beginning from the 16th century. A charka contained a single serving of vodka -- which initially contained 150 grams (about 5 ounces) of 40 proof vodka. In the 19th century, when vodka reached strengths of 80 to 90 Proof, a smaller serving of 70 grams (about 2.25 ounces), approximately half a charka, was approved.

I started as a blogger myself and have just started www.ifoods.tv which is a place for us foodies to swap photos, recipes and cooking videos. I just found that when I was blogging that not enough people were seeing my posts and i wanted to make a place where everybody could find all our great content easily! Check it out and let me know what you think! Make sure to keep up the good work here, have just bookmarked you! Cheers!
