In 1818, the Crown Vodka Winery (Pierre Smirnoff Fils) was established in Moscow. After the October Revolution in 1917, it was still a family business.

Smirnoff is currently one of the more commonly accepted vodkas, sold in more than 170 countries around the world, with 460,000 bottles of crown vodka sold every day, which is very popular among bartenders from all over the world. Crown vodka is transparent and colorless. It has no other fragrance except the unique aroma of alcohol. It has a dry and strong nose. It is an indispensable ingredient for making cocktails.

In 1930, its formula was brought to the United States, where the Crown Vodka winery was established. It is now one of the brands under the UK Diageo Company.

Smino is popular all over the world with its pure taste, and its roots can be traced back to Russia in the 19th century. Brand founder PA Smino began brewing wine in 1864. In 1934, Smino vodka began to be produced in the United States. When Americans rarely drank vodka at the time, Smino was defined as "white whiskey". The "Bloody Mary", "Screwdriver" and "Vodka Martini" that appeared later also became classics in vodka cocktails.

Smino vodka is made from small batch hand-brewed, three distillations and one traditional Russian copper distillation. It is specially prepared to commemorate the ascension of the Russian Tsar Alexander II in 1855. It is smooth and pure. The strong taste is favored by the Tsar, who has high requirements for quality.
