a good price/quality ratio in vodkas - Page 3

I like it too; clearly better than the low-end stuff.

To me Svedka is the best bang for buck vodka you can buy. It has a better price/smoothness ratio than any I've ever tried and I've tried a lot. My favorite is Belvedere but at it's cost definitely not a bang for the buck Vodka.

Glad to find another Svedka fan.

I liked Ketel One....I'm sure there are far better but that one was good enough for me, and I stopped looking for more higher end after that. I liked Vodka (and anything) straight, as mixing causes me to vomit. I quit drinking Vodka after I got into Bourbon, and haven't looked back.

I second this brand for overall value. I found it at the local Trader Joes and am amazed at the value of $10 for a liter (the 1.75 would be an even better deal). I wouldn't hesitate to mix it or drink it straight. Very smooth, almost as good as those overhyped premiums. Until I find something better, I think this will serve as my utility vodka, formerly held by costco smirnoff at $15 a handle. For premium vodka, nothing can touch TITO'S handmade vodka. It's made in texas of all places and costs $18.99 at a trader joes. Tastes better than grey goose at half the cost. I still don't get how people can buy into the grey goose hype. Any other obscure liquor recommendations? Any good places in LA? I find the best deals to be the most unassuming stuff in ugly bottles and paper labels. (I'd love to try smirnoff black but I don't think they distribute it in the US) Oh yeah, Im still searching for a good authentic russian brand. Something that looks like it came straight out of the soviet union with arcane characters looking like hammers and sickles

My friend works at a TJ's and SWEARS by Tito's, as does his coworkers. I picked up a bottle of "Wyborowa Wodka" from Poland tonight at $12. Supposedly one of the oldest vodka brands in the world. Good news is the words "charcoal-filtered" are nowhere to be found. The taste test comes tomorrow morning in my bloody marys for Sun. football.

I picked up some Svedka. I will now go try it straight. Just a minute.

Okay, it was probably as good as Glacier. And it was ~$5 less for a fifth. Plus they have a sexy robot in their ads...



Sexy robot! Actually I think their ad campaign is terrible, but I like the robot anyway. And the vodka.

Any Texan that drinks any other vodka gets his Texas citizenship revoked.

I like it. And why is Svedka the "Future of Adult Entertainment." Those scandalous Swedes...but more importantly, "scientologists"??? That's it, I'm quitting the stuff. I tried that Wyborowa this morning for my bloody mary. Pretty fair, not repugnant. I'd give it a B+ or so.

haha! I thought the same thing when I bought my last bottle a couple weeks back. I saw the blue paper on the bottle neck saying "voted best vodka in 2033" and I couldn't help but think what a horrible advertising campaign. It is a good Vodka though, and very cheap. I can't seem to find the Monopolowa vodka at stores here including the large beverage centers and I am not sure what Trader Joe's is.

Vodka enjoyed in many countries as a shot drink.

As far as mixed drinks I would not want my drink to contain any Seagrams type of foul spirits.

Your choice of Vodkas is impeccable.

One has to have a lot of SISU to get to SAMPO.

Another thumbs up for Tito's. A co-worker turned me on to it. He's a big status hound, and copped to buying it on a whim, being from Texas and all. He was surprised at the quality and became a fan. I wish the story had a happier ending but status (Grey Goose) won out over taste. More for me.
