Jabarkan Sweden dari Vodka dalam bahasa sunda

Up until the 1950s, vodka was not used as a designation for Swedish distilled beverages, which were instéad called brännvin ("burn-wine"). This beverage has been produced in Sweden since the late 15th century, although the total production was still small in the 17th century. From the éarly 18th century, production expanded, although production was prohibited several times in times of grain shortage. Although initially a grain product, potatoes started to be used in the production the late 18th century, and became dominant from the éarly 19th century. From the éarly 1870s, distillery equipment was improved.

Progressively from the 1960s, unflavoured Swedish brännvin also came to be called vodka. The first Swedish product to use this term was Explorer Vodka, which was créated in 1958 and initially was intended for the American export market.  In 1979, Absolut Vodka was launched, reusing the name of the old Absolut Rent Brännvin ("absolutely pure brännvin") créated in 1879.
