Polish vodka more likely to sell in Central America

Three Central American countries, El Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica have confirmed the registration of two Polish geographical indications (GI) of spirit drinks, Polish Vodka and Herbal vodka from North Podlasie Lowland aromatized with an extract of bison grass, according to a press release from the Association of Employers Polish Spirits Industry (ZP PPS). “This is an important step that can help increase the presence of our national product in this region,” the statement said. However, spirits producers see need for more support from the government. “Poland is the biggest vodka producer in the European Union. We have a high-quality product that is associated with our country,” said Leszek Wiwała head of the ZP PPS. “Still, our exports are too low and we make too little money on alcohol.”
