Alcohol products have always been in high demand, even during times of the strictest ban on its use. At the same time, the popularity of alcoholic beverages does not decrease even with a general drop in the level of income of the population. For this reason, the launch of a new commercial project related to the production and bottling of wines, cognacs and vodka is guaranteed to become a profitable business, provided that a business plan is drawn up in advance, taking into account all the features of the project in specific conditions and for a certain market sector.
Legal issues
Before opening your own mini-factory for the production and bottling of alcoholic beverages, you must go through the registration procedure, receiving a certificate granting the plant the status of a legal entity - LLC. During the registration process, an organization must be assigned a specific OKVED code.
Since the products produced at such a plant are related to alcoholic beverages, in order to carry out commercial activities with full rights it is necessary to obtain an appropriate license.
If you plan to produce vodka at a mini-factory, you must carefully familiarize yourself with state and international standards for the production of these alcoholic beverages. In addition, it is required to issue a declaration and a voluntary certificate of conformity.
Room
You should carefully and thoughtfully approach the choice of the building in which the mini-factory will be located. The factory building must include at least 2 premises - the production premises itself and the finished product warehouse. Ideally, the plant area should be about 2000 square meters. meters, however, to start activities in this area, the production premises can be located on much more modest areas (at least 100 sq. meters).
Equipment
Despite the fact that each manufacturer strives to invent its own secret of purification and filtration of alcohol-containing drinks, the manufacturing technology remains virtually unchanged.
For this reason, the following (common to all) are used to equip a production line for the production of alcoholic beverages: installations:
- pasteurizer;
- tank – 3 pcs.;
- bottle washing machine;
- filling and packaging machine;
- device for sticking labels and excise stamps;
- optional equipment.
TO additional equipment may refer to:
- water softening and purification apparatus;
- coal column (volume 1.6 cubic meters);
- single-flow sand filter;
- conveyor;
- thermal tunnel for heating the caps.
In total, the acquisition, transportation and installation of production equipment will require financial investments in the amount of at least 1.8 million rubles.
In the future, when the project reaches a level of sustainable profit, the production line can be fully automated by introducing a full cycle automatic line of equipment from Italian or French manufacturers. Such equipment is highly expensive (6-7 million rubles), but it makes it possible to simplify the work of production employees, reduce the risk of technology violations and the influence of the “human factor,” and also simplify the maintenance of reporting documentation.
Staff
The winery's business plan must contain a list of planned personnel recruitment. At the same time, not only the number of employees to ensure the process of producing alcoholic beverages in each production workshop is indicated, but also some of their job responsibilities are given, as well as the planned salary.
The staff is formed depending on production volumes.
For a medium-sized winery, this may include:
- Administrative staff.
- Technological specialists.
- Workers to organize a successful production process at different stages of the production of wine drinks.
- Cleaners and other staff.
Market analysis
Before opening a plant for the production and sale of wine and vodka products, it is necessary to conduct a thorough analysis of the economic situation in the region planned for the launch of the project. During this analysis, it is necessary to conduct a marketing study of the expectations of potential buyers (which price category products they are more inclined towards, the expected scale of sales, etc.).
This analysis also evaluates the level of competition in the selected region. As practice has shown, in the segment of production and sale of alcoholic products in the regions, the most fierce competition for local producers comes from foreign-made alcoholic beverages, but their main disadvantage is their higher cost.
Sales of products
The establishment of future sales channels should be reflected in the winery’s business plan, since special attention should be paid to product sales. If distribution channels are insufficiently established, finished products may stagnate in the warehouse, thereby slowing down the entire production principle and leading to losses. To attract wholesale buyers and establish long-term partnership agreements, a system of discounts on supply volumes can be introduced.
To expand the circle of potential buyers and establish wholesale sales of products, you need to worry about conducting an advertising campaign aimed at recognizing the new brand. The content of advertising information should reflect the presence of unique properties of alcoholic beverages, positive assessments from independent examinations, receipt of quality certificates and an acceptable cost of products.
Finance
Drawing up a financial plan for a project, which consists of calculating its expenditure and revenue parts with their subsequent comparison, allows us to answer the question of the feasibility of starting such a business. Also, during the calculation of the financial plan, indicators of the level of profitability and payback period of the business are determined.

Who is Lysenko and why is he being slandered S. Mironin
November 20 marks the anniversary of the death of the outstanding Soviet biologist Trofim Denisovich Lysenko. Alas, I will have to devote most of this article not to describing his legacy, but to refuting the vile slander concocted by dishonest and selfish people. During the years of “perestroika,” wild hysteria developed around the name of Lysenko, comparable to the hysteria around the names of Beria and Stalin. To date, the name of Acad. Lysenko has been so spat upon and slandered that in the mass consciousness he personifies all the worst that pseudoscience can bring with it...

One of the main sources for the study of Stalinism is not the muddy stream of anti-Stalinist writings (mocking the bones of a dead person is blasphemy, the Russian people have always considered it a vile activity) that is overwhelming us now, but the prophetic foresight of Stalinism by Mikhail Evgrafovich. As for the socio-economic formation to which it belongs, this is not socialism at all, but something that we can all sing about: we didn’t go through this, we weren’t asked this! So that we don’t find out about it, those in power castrate and shred the writings...

Production of alcoholic beverages. Dorosh A.K., Lysenko B.S.
The book tells in detail about the history of making moonshine, both in production and at home. The book will be of interest to those readers who want to have scientific information on the processes of producing alcoholic beverages.
The basics of technology are described and the necessary recommendations are proposed for the production of alcohol from all kinds of food raw materials for the production of vodka. The technologies for producing malt, wort, yeast, the fermentation process, distillation and purification of alcohol are presented in detail. Physical and chemical methods and means that were previously used to purify alcohol in production are outlined. Old and new norms and requirements of state standards for alcohol and vodka are presented.
The designs of small moonshine stills for home use are described. Historical information about the production of strong alcohol is offered for review. The processes for making vodka, which were used by individuals and enterprises during the times of Tsarist Russia and the USSR, are described, and recipes for vodka are presented.
The book is written for mass reading, based on the analysis of scientific data from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day.
Moonshine has been distilled at all times. In the memory of many people, events not so long ago, when preparing moonshine was a violation of the law and was subject to serious punishment.
And, nevertheless, even the mass home production of moonshine did not become the basis for the people who are engaged in moonshine to know in detail all the technologies for its preparation, to be well versed in the design of moonshine stills, that is, with the technical side of this issue.
Unfortunately, all the literature that has appeared recently does not fully acquaint people with the issue of preparing alcoholic homemade drinks, including moonshine.
And, nevertheless, the modern production of alcoholic beverages has sufficient experience, which would be extremely useful for preparing alcohol using special devices at home. Unfortunately, almost all the scientific literature on this issue is inaccessible to most people.
Introduction
In addition to the main raw material, as a result of the fermentation of carbohydrates which produces alcohol, other substances are also used: water, additional materials, yeast and malt. At home, malt can be a key raw material to obtain alcohol.
The quality of water, the composition of salts and especially its hardness have a significant impact on all important processes for producing alcohol, including fermentation and growing malt.
Technologies for producing alcohol consist of 3 stages:
1) creating an environment for fermentation;
2) fermentation;
3) obtaining alcohol.
Of course, at each of these stages certain work is performed that leads to the production of high-quality alcohol.
The result of the first stage of work is the appearance of wort.
At this stage, the yeast is prepared for fermentation.
At the beginning of the second stage, the wort and yeast are mixed. During this work, it is necessary to strictly observe the temperature regime.
The third stage includes work on the distillation and rectification of alcohol.
At home, it is impossible to obtain high-quality alcohol through distillation alone. Therefore, at home, other methods of purifying alcohol are necessary, which are described in detail and comprehensively in the book.
In Tsarist Russia, the industry that produced alcohol was called a distillery, and the enterprises that produced alcohol were called distilleries. After all, in Russia, alcohol and vodka have long been called wine, which was obtained by fire distillation.
It was only in the 30s of the 20th century that this industry received the name alcohol, and therefore enterprises producing alcoholic beverages were called distilleries.
In this article:
Vodka production is a fairly delicate process, and the quality of the finished product directly depends on the degree of water purification. The production of the most popular alcoholic drink in our country can be considered economically feasible, since the product will always be in demand, regardless of the economic situation in the state.
Features of organizing a vodka production business
1. Organizational and legal form of business – individual entrepreneur or LLC with a simplified taxation system.
2. To conduct business activities, you must indicate the following OKVED code: 15.91 – Production of distilled alcoholic beverages.
Before launching the production line, you must familiarize yourself with the list of state standards: GOST R51355-99, GOST R52472-2005 and international quality standards.
3. Obtaining a production license after providing a package of documents and paying the state fee.
4. Drawing up a declaration and a voluntary certificate of conformity for vodka.
5. Obtaining excise stamps of a new type (1600 rubles per 1000 pieces).
Factory technology for vodka production
In the process of making vodka, every detail matters and affects the final taste of the alcoholic drink. Most manufacturers have their own secrets regarding purification and filtration of the product, but in general the technological process for producing vodka is identical for all.
Elite varieties of vodka are prepared on the basis of malt alcohol, which is produced using a special technology.
Feedstock– sprouted grain allows you not to use artificial additives during the fermentation process. Malt alcohol is fermented using exclusively natural enzymes; it gives the finished product a specific taste (without burning) and a sweetish aftertaste. An equally important component is the quality of water, which should preferably be used from wells in ecologically clean areas. Water obtained from natural sources has unique characteristics and special mineralization properties. The quality of the water used must be monitored by a technologist
In order for all ingredients to retain their beneficial and natural properties without the use of chemical substitutes, it is necessary to strictly follow all stages of the production process:
- water preparation;
- purchasing or preparing alcohol;
- mixing a water-alcohol mixture;
- filtration;
- processing with coal and silver;
- settling;
- bottling of finished products.
Before starting vodka production, the salt content in the water is studied; it should be minimal. Its volume in the total mass should be about 60%. At this stage, water is purified through sedimentation and filtration. It is important to note that it is strictly not recommended to boil (distill) water; in this case, the alcoholic drink will lose its unique taste and become hard.
Wheat is often used as the main raw material for the production of vodka alcohol. At the same time, the addition of barley, corn and even peas is allowed. You can make alcohol yourself or order it from distilleries. In the latter case, it is much more difficult to control its quality.
During the sorting process, alcohol and water in the required proportions are fed into closed sorting tanks and mixed. The resulting liquid is subjected to additional repeated purification. At this stage, other ingredients that are provided for in the recipe can be added. For example, to obtain lemon vodka, lemon juice (flavoring) is added to the mixture. Next, the water-alcohol mixture passes through a filter with quartz sand, and then triple filtration occurs through columns filled with activated carbon and ionized silver. In closed sorting tanks, the aqueous-alcoholic liquid is mixed with special devices.
The mixture then passes through columns of quartz sand. This ancient and labor-intensive method will give the vodka softness and pleasant taste. At each stage of the production process, the technologist must check the quality of the drink using physical and chemical analysis.
It is necessary to clean quartz filters periodically, since the sediment that forms will interfere with normal cleaning.
Before the final stage vodka enters special tanks, where it “calms down and rests,” chemical processes slow down, and water and alcohol are evenly distributed. The more days the vodka is allowed to sit, the fuller its taste becomes.
According to the standards, assimilation(settling of the finished mixture) should last at least 48 hours. According to experienced technologists, this time is not enough. Therefore, for many manufacturers, settling can last up to 7 days. Premium varieties “rest” for about 3 months, which makes their taste even more rich and refined.
The bottling process is carried out on special automatic lines - the alcoholic drink is poured into a bottle and sealed with a special stopper, after which a label is applied.
The final stage involves packaging the vodka and sending it to the finished product warehouse.
Equipment for vodka production workshop
It is quite difficult to achieve a high level of quality in vodka products without the use of modern equipment, and it is almost impossible to produce stable supplies without production automation.
We purchase equipment for the production of vodka
- Pasteurizer (Fig. 14) – 110,000 rubles;
- Three tanks (Fig. 15) – 150,000 rubles;
- Bottle washing machine (Fig. 16) – 240,000 rubles;
- Packaging machine for bottling (Fig. 17) – 510,000 rubles;
- Automatic machine for gluing labels and excise stamps (Fig. 18) – 430,000 rubles;
- Optional equipment:
- installation for softening and purifying water – 180,000 rubles.
- coal column (volume 1.6 cubic meters) – 65,000 rubles;
- single-flow sand filter – RUB 54,000;
- conveyor - 35,000 rubles;
- thermal tunnel for heating caps – 28,000 rubles.
Total: 1,802,000 rubles.
It is possible to purchase a ready-made production line made in Italy or France, which provides for full automation. Its use allows you to protect against errors that are associated with the “human factor”. The work of maintenance personnel and the maintenance of reporting documentation will also be significantly simplified. The only drawback of such equipment is the high price (6-7 million rubles), which may be “unaffordable” for a novice entrepreneur.
Subsequently, in connection with the development and payback of the business, this equipment can be seamlessly integrated into existing production.
Vodka production business plan
To start the production process, at least 100 m2 of area must be allocated for the workshop. The cost of renting non-residential premises will be 15,000 rubles per month.
Product strategy of the mini-factory: vodka produced in two varieties: Standard and Premium. A distinctive feature of the products will be environmental friendliness and quality. The monthly production volume will be 5,000 deciliters.
The costs of raw materials consist of the following components:
- Water from a natural source – 120,000 rubles;
- Alcohol - 180,000 rubles;
- Container – 72,000 rubles;
- Labels – 15,000 rubles;
- Traffic jams – 13,000 rubles;
Total: 450,000 rubles.
The monthly payroll of employees is 329,000 rubles:
- Basic salary - 230,000 rubles;
- Additional salary - 16,000 rubles;
- Payroll taxes (36.1%) – 83,000 rubles;
The expense part of the business plan consists of the following monthly costs:
- Raw materials and basic materials - 450,000 rubles;
- Auxiliary materials – 45,000 rubles;
- Utility bills – 15,000 rubles;
- Payroll (40 people) – 329,000 rubles;
- Deductions for production needs (39% of the payroll) - 128,310 rubles;
- Rent of an industrial building – 15,000 rubles;
- Shop expenses (50% of clause 4) – 164,500 rubles;
- Losses from defects (4.5% of clause 6) – 7402.50 rubles;
- Non-production expenses (5% of item 7) – 370.12 rubles;
- Depreciation of equipment – 10,000 rubles.
Total direct costs (p/p 1-5) – 982,310 rubles.
Total indirect expenses (p/p 7-10) – 182,272.62 rubles.
Planned cost = Direct costs + Indirect costs = 982,310 rubles. + 182,272.62 rub. = 1,164,582.62 rub.
Total cost of work = planned cost + planned profit (20% of planned cost) + income tax (20% of profit) = 1,164,582.62 rubles. + 232,916.52 rub. + 46,583.30 rub. = 1,444,082.45 rubles.
Processing cost = Planned cost - Material costs = RUB 1,164,582.62 - RUB 450,000. = 714,582.62 rubles.
Let's determine the retail price of 1 bottle of vodka: Let's assume 100% sales of finished products, at which the final cost of 1 bottle of vodka, taking into account the cost, will be: = 142.92 rubles/dal x 2 = 285.83 rubles/dal.
Calculation of revenue, profit and profitability
Sales revenue = Planned price x Monthly output = 285.83 rubles/dal. x 5000 gave. = 1,429,150 rubles.
Profit from sales = Revenue – Cost = 1,429,150 rubles - 1,164,582.62 rubles. = 264,567.40 rubles.
Net profit (less 20% income tax) = 264,567.40 – 52,913.48 = 211,653.93 rubles.
Product profitability = Profit from sales / Cost = 264,567.40 / 1,164,582.62 = 0.23.
Profitability of production = Profit from sales / Cost of processing = 264,567.40 / 714,582.62 = 0.37.
Thus, the production of vodka is an economically viable production process, since it generates a profit of 211,654 rubles per month and has a good profitability indicator (37%).
Sales of finished products
To increase sales of an alcoholic beverage, the main emphasis should be on the quality of the finished product. To do this, you must strictly adhere to the approved recipe, accurately select ingredients and exercise strict control of the production process at all its stages.
At first, to make the product recognizable to potential consumers, the most effective method would be to conduct an advertising campaign. During its implementation, it is necessary to focus on the presence of unique properties of vodka, testing it by independent laboratories, obtaining quality certificates and an affordable price.
