In the interwar period Koneser produced a quarter of a million bottles of alcohol a day. In 1928, the sales value reached PLN 2.7 million. A year earlier, in 1927, the production of Wyborowa vodka began, which quickly became one of the most popular vodkas in the country. In 1928, Luksusowa potato vodka, the most expensive on the market, was launched. The popularity of Polish vodkas was growing. Also abroad. Virtually everyone drank vodka. Admittedly, in the most representative and fashionable places in Warsaw – Oazie, Adria, at Simon and Stecki’s, the cream of Warsaw society drank wine and champagne, a bottle of which cost as much as the salary of a middle-level official. But there were also vodka lovers here. Also served in fashionable cocktails at that time. But there were other pubs as well. For example, the popular “budget” eatery U Wróbla, where Warsaw-style tripe and herring, served with vodka, enjoyed great popularity. In turn, the shady hams of Powiśle and Szmulki were dominated by cheap, but praised for the taste and strength of vodka from Koneser – Siwucha and Żytnia. The end of this prosperity in the Second Polish Republic was put by the outbreak of World War II and the subordination of Polish spirit plants, including Koneser, to the occupying authorities. The Poles, of course, coped. Again, illegal distilleries came to the fore, producing millions of liters of moonshine of various quality, which became a kind of occupation currency.
