Vodka was originally made in Russia from potatoes, but today’s vodka is usually made from grain and occationally from rye.

Traditional Russian vodka (at least Moskovskaya) is made of about 80% rye. The rest is the mixture of other types of grain. The water for vodka needs to come from a clean natural lake or river. It can’t be boiled. Best Russian producers strictly observe these rules.

Most vodka these days is made from wheat, though it is now popular for high-end vodkas to go “old school” and use potatoes

Anything… potatoes is actually quite uncommon. Usually grain, but sugar or molasses works too. What separates vodka from whiskey/rum/etc is that it’s super-distilled to a point of being nearly-pure ethanol before being mixed with purified water down to a lower proof.

it can be distilled from a lot. the main thing is its distilled, but NOT aged. traditionally its potatoes most vodka today is made from grain: barley, rye, wheat there are a few that use other material, including Ciroc, who actually use grapes… although there have been many debates wether or not this should be consider vodka.
