Stumbras. Comes with wheat inside. Żubrówka is also very nice

It’s a Czech herbal liqueur, I’m not surprised that it is used as a “medicinal” drink.

Just finish the bottle.

imo the Asda price vodka is much better than either vodkat (lol) and smirnoff.

Russian Standard is the best cheap vodka

You can get a 0.5L bottle of Snow Queen for £20. It's a great Vodka.

Żubrówka is very nice, either on it's own or with apple juice. Wyborowa is also very good, and for a non-Polish vodka my favourite is Reyka from Iceland .

Snow Queen? As in Snow Queen from Kazakhstan lol?

I didn't get on with it... we used to get given a bottle or two of it instead of Belvedere or Grey Goose sometimes in the clubs. :/

Not sure but I have a bottle of Spirytus in my bedroom which is 95% natural grain.

Polish vodka along with Finlandia I tend drink more than others.

Edit,

I also have a bottle of slivovica which is 70%. Polish plum vodka.

Grey Goose (eventhough it's madly priced over here - I picked up a litre in the Bahamas for £14, here it's what, £60?) is my favourite, and 42 below is v nice if you want something more 'refreshing'

I have a bottle of Zubrowka here - a Polish bloke who works for me brings me a couple of bottles back everytime he goes home to visit his family

MaX_PoWah · 12 Apr 2009 at 01:51

Well i have quite a few, id have to say my favourite in this order is

1. Green Mark (Available from waitrose) its a really sweet wheat vodka thats is really easy to drink
2. Sky Vodka (Also available from watirose) again pretty sweet american vodka, nice with pretty much everything
3. Smirnoff Penka - Just a nice smooth vodka
4. Russian Standard Silver Select - (Available from some sainsburys) - Very smooth
5. 42 Below

I also have some, normal russian standard, zubrowka, several different flavours of absolut, finlandia, smirnoff pot distilled, Grey Goose, normal smirnoff, Stolinaya.

Been collecting spirits for ages.

Stuff id like to try - Russian standard imperia, Grey Goose magnum

Ive drunk many, many vodkas, but the one I have drunk the most of has to be Sobieski, if you see it, buy it, its a nice plain vodka, definately my favorite, if youre feeling adventurous you can get a flavored version, pink grapefruit is quite nice! but when it comes to flavored vodkas, nothing beats raspberry twist smirnoff!
yes i did say smirnoff!

Solari · 12 Apr 2009 at 02:10

I buy Grey Goose, Belvedere or Smirnoff Penka.

All good stuff

Avoid the Citron crap though.

It all depends on your own tastes but I think that anything you can drink straight over ice with a slice of lemon/lime is definitely good

Belvedere because the bottle looks awesome.

Shame its namesake in Kent is a ***hole

Russian Standard if you want something cheap but decent.

Although Grey Goose or Belvedere are my favourites
