Finlandia introduces new Wild Berries flavored vodka

08/09/05 The sunshine and cool mountain streams of springtime in Finland help produce an annual harvest of some of the world's sweetest berries. These flavor patches of raspberries, black raspberries, boysenberries, strawberries and wild mountain berries are especially delectable when blended together, which is exactly what intrigued Finlandia Vodka to create its new Wild Berries flavored vodka.

The flavored vodka category continues to grow in size and Finlandia continues to be the first to launch innovative and unique flavors to the market. It represents more than 20% of all vodka consumption rising from 17% in 2002. The new Wild Berries vodka from Finlandia joins a family of flavors that already features Mango, Lime and Cranberry.

Finlandia Vodka is here to help jump-start the entertaining season with great new ways to create unique cocktails, bake fun pastries and be prepared for the holiday season. Today's consumers are looking for bold new flavor experiences and Wild Berries flavor is bold, natural and unique.

Finlandia Vodka is made from the finest six-row barley and pure glacial spring water grown under the long days and white night's of the Midnight Sun. This barley, the most expensive distiller's grain, used by many distinguished single malt scotches and premium beers, offers the highest quality starch and the lowest possible content of natural oils which contributes to the crisp, clean taste.
