Hi edlasen,

By definition, vodka should only contain distilled alcohol, water, and traces of flavorings and/or impurities.

Even if the fermentation process is somehow not complete and contains some sugar, the distillation part should be able to remove it, as sugar has a higher boiling point than ethanol.
