Brännvin (or brændevin in Danish, brennevin in Norwegian, brennivín in Faroese and Icelandic and (palo)viina in Finnish) is the Swedish version of the general Scandinavian term for liquor distilled from potatoes, grain, or (formerly) wood cellulose; both of flavored and unflavored variants. The term includes vodka and akvavit, but akvavit is always flavored. Beverages labelled ''brännvin'' or ''viina'' are usually unflavored and have an alcohol content between 30% and 38% ABV. European Union regulations reserve the name "vodka" for beverages distilled to at least 95% ABV and bottled at 37.5% or higher. In Finland, the word ''viina'' is always used for Finnish-made neutral spirit, including Finnish vodka, and the Russian word (vodka) is used only for vodkas from other countries. In informal speech, ''viina'' can also refer to any similarly strong beverage similarly to ''booze'', whether flavored or unflavored. The term "vodka" was not used for Swedish vodkas before 1958. The word ''brännvin'' means "burn-wine"; the Finnish equivalent ''(palo)viina'' means "burnt liquor." (Sometimes the distillation of beverages is called "burning.") It is cognate with English ''brandy'', Dutch ''brandewijn'', German ''Branntwein'', and Icelandic ''brennivín ''. ==Other languages== There is also an Icelandic version, called brennivín, which is similar to Danish and Swedish akvavit. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brännvin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
