[3] In the 1950s and 60s, Wyborowa conquered all major European countries - it constituted over 60% of the total volume of vodka exported to the United Kingdom.

After the period of economic transition in the late 1980s and early 90s, the Poznań distillery, like many others in the country, got itself into serious trouble and was close to filing for bankruptcy protection.

However, due to the large international popularity of its major product, the plant was bought by the French alcohol producer Pernod Ricard.

Once diluted, the vodka is passed through natural cellulose plates and mesh filters to remove particulate matter.

In an analysis mandated by Swiss TV RTS in May 2014, the Eurofins Scientific group of laboratories reveals the presence of sugar cane or corn while Wyborowa's labeling mentions rye alcohol only.
