FAQs
Why is it called "One Source"?
Absolut Vodka is called "One Source" because every ingredient used in the vodka—wheat and water—comes from the southern part of Sweden, where the vodka is also distilled. This ensures that the product is consistent and of the highest quality.
What is the price of Absolut Vodka in India?

-
Mumbai: ₹2,200 – ₹2,600

Is it gluten-free?
The distillation process removes gluten proteins, making Absolut Vodka generally safe for those with sensitivities. However, it is derived from wheat, so individuals with extreme gluten sensitivities should exercise caution.
How should it be stored?
Absolut Vodka is best stored in a cool, dark place. Many prefer keeping it in the freezer to enhance its smooth, syrupy texture when served neat or on the rocks.
