With this as their motivation, they decided to take things into their own hands and start P & M Beverage Imports. Many of the items that they import are new to the industry, so they are doing their part to introduce new products from smaller companies in an effort to help them gain a position in the American marketplace.

Sash & Fritz – that’s German vodka combining Russian tradition with German precision and perfection. Only the best, carefully selected ingredients, such as 100 percent German wheat and clear spring water from the Ore Mountains, are processed into top-quality vodka in a carefully thought out manufacturing process.

No unnecessary processes or additions – and definitely not absolutely neutral.
