Aldi sells several types of vodka under different brand names (such as Stefanoff and Saint Gérmont), and the alcohol by volume (ABV) varies by product and country.
Volume: 1L (approx.) Alc. 37.5% vol.
Vodka is typically 40% alcohol (80 proof) in the US and EU, but some brands offer higher proofs, including versions around 70% ABV (140 proof) for stronger spirits, though this isn't standard; it's usually diluted to 37.5-50% ABV for general consumption, but very strong, near-pure versions (up to 95% ABV) also exist.
Aldi's vodka, especially their award-winning Tamova (Australian) and Saint Gérmont (French) brands, receives high praise for delivering exceptional quality and smoothness at very low prices, often winning prestigious international awards like the Vodka Masters, making them excellent value for cocktails like Cosmos or for sipping neat. Reviewers highlight their clean, crisp taste with citrus notes, minimal burn, and suitability for mixers, defying their budget price point.
Since the 1890s, standard vodkas have been 40% alcohol by volume (ABV) (80 U.S. proof). The European Union has established a minimum alcohol content of 37.5% for vodka. Vodka in the United States must have a minimum alcohol content of 40%.
While most vodkas are around 40% ABV, some brands offer very high-proof versions; Smirnoff Silver (90 Proof/45% ABV, not 90% alcohol), Skyy 90 (also 45% ABV), and specialty brands like CarbonSix's Xtreme Vodka (90% ABV) are examples, but be careful as 90% ABV is extremely strong (overproof), with many "90" labeled products actually being 90 proof (45% alcohol).
Most vodkas are 80 proof (40% ABV), but there are many exceptions. Some premium or flavored vodkas may be slightly lower, while high-proof or overproof versions can reach up to 192 proof.

What does moderate drinking mean? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines moderate drinking as one to two alcoholic drinks or less per day, depending on your gender. For vodka, this means one or two standard shots measured at approximately 1.5 ounces each (at 80 proof).
Even though you may think the higher concentration is more effective, experts say 70% is actually better for disinfecting. It has more water, which helps it to dissolve more slowly, penetrate cells, and kill bacteria.
Several vodkas are available at 70% alcohol (ABV), notably Rasputin Vodka, known for its high strength and purity, and some craft options like Roots and Wings Distillery's Overproof Vodka which also hits this mark, though some very strong vodkas (like Balkan 176) go even higher (88% ABV). These potent spirits are often used for infusions or strong cocktails rather than drinking neat.
