Svedka is a mid-priced[1] brand of vodka produced in the United States with American corn.[2][3] Its product name is a portmanteau of the words Sverige or svensk ("Sweden" and "Swedish" respectively in the Swedish language) and "vodka".
In the past, it was imported into US as 96% strength alcohol from Sweden and diluted and bottled in the US.[4][5] At a later time, Svedka moved the whole production process to the US without any announcement.[2]
In 2020, Swedish National Food Agency claimed that it may not be distributed as Swedish vodka because "Swedish vodka" is a protected designation according to European Union rules, and thus must meet certain requirements. The government agency believes that Lantmännen violates some of these requirements when the company transports the concentrated 96 percent alcohol to the United States to be diluted with water there.[5]Template:Update inline
In March 2007, Constellation Brands acquired Svedka for US$384 million.[6][7][8][9] In December 2024, the vodka brand was sold to Sazerac Company.[10]
