I agree completely. I'll tell you a secret, I've tested a number of these places and they are all
made the same way. In fact it is common practice for one place to make the alchohol for several of
vodkas brands in an area. The makers ship the bottles in and have specific quality control standards
that they demand and the 'import' vodka is actually made within 100 miles of where you live. I do
avoid the cheapest ones because the hygene at some of those places is... I won't go into it but I'm
sure you get the idea.
For he record I'm not a vodka drinker but my wife like's martinis. |

As Damien pointed out, the cheap stuff gives you a bad hangover. I couldn't see what JSG's
recommendation was because the comments won't open for me for some reason. I don't drink often, but
if I do and if I drink something with vodka in it, I go for Grey Goose. JSG is right about the
smoothness too. : ) |

Actually, the reason why I'm voting on this side is not for taste, but for the hangover. I've gotten
drunk off a handle of Aristocrat Vodka--which is cheap and comes in a plastic jug--and the hangover
was just utterly horrible. On the other hand, I've gotten drunk with a bottle of Absolut and the
hangover wasn't too bad at all. There could have been quite a few variables between these two
hangovers, but that's my experience. |

I may have been imagining things but "cheap" vodka has flavor. As with most alcohols, it's the
smoothness that matters most. Good vodka has a smooth finish instead of that hint of twang. |
