The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
1 bottle (750ml size) red wine
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks (three-inch)
3 whole cloves
2 lemon slices
directions
Bring the sugar, spices, lemon, and water to a boil, then let this mixture steep for 30 minutes.
Add the wine and carefully reheat to just under the boiling point. Strain into mugs and serve hot.
NOTE: You can substitute extra wine or a fine apple brandy for the water. And many traditional recipes call for a dash of Angostura bitters, though I think it tastes fine without them.
