The history of Smirnoff Vodka began in 1910 when Vladimir Smirnov took over the
company after the death of his father Pyotr Smirnov.During the October
Revolution, the distillery was confiscated and the family had to flee to
Constantinople, where Vladimir built a new distillery.

Four years later the family moved to Lviv, in 1925 the spelling of the name was
changed to Smirnoff and by the end of the 1930s Smirnoff was exported to most
European countries.

In 1934, Vladimir Smirnov sold the company to Rudolph Kunett, who moved the
headquarters to the United States. Meanwhile, Smirnoff belongs to Diageo and is
one of the world's best-selling vodkas.



Smirnoff was the first distillery in the world to use charcoal for filtering.
The bright pink as well as the unusual label design guarantees a recognition
