Brand History

LLC “Standard” in the city of Vyksa was founded in 2003. The main specialization of the company was the production of premium vodkas. The plant also produces a collection of branded tinctures in honor of the enterprise.

The brand’s products are especially popular in the Nizhny Novgorod region, where the company is one of the leaders in terms of sales. In addition to the regions of Russia and neighboring countries, alcohol from Vyksa is supplied to Brazil, the USA, Germany, Ethiopia, Austria, China, and Iraq.

The first series of vodkas with silver coins was produced at the enterprise in 2006. The idea to put precious items inside the bottles did not come about by chance.

In the old days, healing properties were attributed to jewelry metal: it was considered useful to drink silver water and wash your face with it. The cunning advertising ploy of “silvering” vodka was invented back in the XNUMXth century by the merchant Pimenov, who thus successfully drew attention to his product and sold it at exorbitant prices. At the plant “Standard” only borrowed an old tradition.

In 2015-2016, the company opened several branded stores in Nizhny Novgorod, where you can buy the factory’s drinks at promotional prices. At the end of 2016, the company was awarded the “honorary standard” of the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region.

For 15 years of operation, the brand’s vodka and tinctures have repeatedly won gold medals and the Grand Prix at the PRODEXPO exhibition, as well as the title of Best Vodka at the International Tasting Competition.
