You know the stereotype… all Russian men and Russian women drink nothing but vodka. But is it true?
Yes… and no.
Vodka is the traditional drink of Russia and it is a favorite with most Russian men. Russian women drink it too, particularly on festive occasions. The brands that most Russian men and Russian women favor are Moskovskaya and Stolichnaya. These Russian vodkas are made of wheat and are considered the best in the world. (At least by Russians!)
So when you go to visit your beautiful Russian woman in her homeland, you will no doubt be offered vodka on many different occasions. Just don’t drink too much! Vodka is very powerful and even the finest vodkas can leave you with a headache the next day if you drink too much.

While Russian women do drink vodka, most prefer to drink Soviet Champagne. It’s a type of sparkling wine that’s made of Aligoté and Chardonnay grapes. It’s a light and refreshing wine. When you go to visit your beautiful Russian woman in her homeland, we suggest you give it a try!
Of course, there are many other traditional drinks in Russia—some alcoholic, others not. Most of them are not common in other national cuisines. Here are some you may encounter if you travel to Russia to meet beautiful Russian women:

3.) To celebrate a happy event;
4.) During national holidays;
5.)During negotiations to create a comfortable and trustworthy atmosphere;
6.) After funerals to pray for for the deceased;
7.)To be reconciled with somebody;
8.) To spend the time. When a few Russian men gather together, they always take a bottle of vodka. Without it they feel uncomfortable;
