Is vodka gluten free?
Let’s find out!

You probably already know that you can’t drink most beer due to its hops and glutenous ingredients. But hard liquor, especially vodka, may seem like a safe bet.
NOPE.
Traditionally, vodka is made from grains such as wheat, rye, and barley. Some specialty vodkas would even come from corn, potatoes, and even grapes.
These specialty vodkas are quite possibly the best options when it comes to trying to find the perfect gluten free vodka for you to enjoy.
If you’re allergic to gluten or have Celiac, you probably already know that you can’t drink most normal vodkas mainly because they have been distilled from glutenous grains.
To some, it may seem like there are little to no options left.
But thankfully, you’re in luck because there are actually several grain-free vodkas for you to enjoy.
But just remember…
Vodka can be tricky
Believe it or not, vodka is a very tricky alcohol for gluten free drinkers.
You see, technically, during the distillation process of the vodka, the gluten proteins from wheat based vodkas is supposed to be removed.
However, many people have claimed that these vodkas (made from wheat) still contain gluten, thus leaving them feeling sick and nauseous after consumption.
So to be safe, you should aim to steer clear from all wheat based vodkas if you have Celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, despite any claims of precise gluten protein removal.
However, on the bright side, you can still opt for a non-wheat, potato, corn, or grape based vodka which are typically cleared for gluten free consumption.
But there is one more thing to watch out for…
Below, you’ll find a listing of all the gluten free vodkas (and brands) you can enjoy. But remember, some vodkas come in unique flavors, so it’s equally as important to ensure that those flavors are also gluten free.
Typically there aren’t any issues with vodka flavors containing gluten, but it’s just a precautionary.
So with that being said, let’s jump straight into this gluten free vodka list!
