Belvedere vodka is gluten free and safe to drink by people with Celiac or people avoiding gluten.
While the vodka brand itself is made from 100% pure Polish rye, and as we all know rye contains gluten, the process of making the vodka is that of distilling it 4 times before the finished product is introduced to the market. A lot of alcohols are doing the same process of distilling their drinks and with that, they remove the gluten and sometimes sugars from the ingredients.
Gluten free confidence score of Belvedere vodka
We scored this vodka with a 7/10 mainly because while it is distilled and the finished product does not contain gluten based on the company, it is still made from 100% rye, which is a gluten containing base. Act with your own discretion before deciding if to drink it or not.
Is vodka in general gluten free?
Most vodkas are in fact gluten free because they are made from grains like corn, potatoes etc, and these do not contain gluten. Also a lot of alcohol manufacturers today are using the distilled process which leaves the end product clean from gluten.
