FAQs
A naggin, the Irish colloquial term for a 200ml spirit bottle, of Smirnoff Red Label at 37.5% ABV typically retails from €8 to €12 depending on the retailer and outlet type. A shoulder (500ml) typically retails from €18 to €22. As the world's best selling vodka brand by volume, Smirnoff Red is positioned at the accessible mass market end of the category, designed for mixing rather than sipping.
A shoulder, the Irish colloquial term for a 500ml bottle, of Smirnoff Red Label at 37.5% ABV typically retails from €18 to €22. The standard 70cl bottle sits between €22 and €28 depending on the retailer. Smirnoff No. 21, the flagship expression at 40% ABV, is similarly priced. As a volume brand produced at scale by Diageo, pricing is designed to maximise accessibility in the mass market rather than reflect premium production credentials.
Smirnoff Ice is a vodka based ready to drink beverage that contains added flavourings and sugar. While the vodka base is distilled and therefore free of gluten proteins, Smirnoff Ice contains malt barley sourced flavourings in some market formulations. In the United States particularly, Smirnoff Ice is made with malt as a base in some states due to regulatory requirements for ready to drink beverages. Individuals with coeliac disease should check the specific market formulation or contact Diageo directly before consuming.
No, not in its current form. Smirnoff originated in Moscow, founded by Pyotr Arsenievich Smirnov in 1864. The brand was sold by the Smirnov family after the Russian Revolution and is now owned by Diageo, a British multinational company, with production taking place primarily in the United States, United Kingdom, and various licensed global facilities. It has no operational connection to Russia. The brand's Russian heritage is a historical origin story rather than a reflection of current ownership or production.
Smirnoff Red Label, the core expression, is bottled at 37.5% ABV for the European market and 40% ABV for the American market (80 proof). Smirnoff No. 21, the premium core expression, is bottled at 40% ABV globally. Smirnoff Blue, the overproof expression, is bottled at 50% ABV. The 37.5% European bottling is the minimum ABV legally permissible for vodka in the EU.
