While Smirnoff had its beginnings in Russia, Vladimir Smirnoff fled the country during the Revolution and re-established the brand in Europe more than a century ago. It is now fully owned by Diageo, a British company. Enjoyed by millions around the world, Smirnoff is proudly made in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Australia, Jamaica, Brazil, Argentina, India, Indonesia and Kenya. For Europe, Smirnoff is produced and bottled in Italy, Santa Vittoria.
