Stock vermouth CAN be fine - Martini & Rossi, the most common type, is. However, I've also been to stores that only have Gallo Vermouth - which has an entirely different flavor (much worse for a martini, IMHO).

Absolut, for a martini???

Gin: North Shore, Hendricks, Bombay Sapphire, Plymouth, Bulldog, Beefeater

Vodka (can hardly remember, I stopped drinking it a while back): Armadale, Youri Dolgorouki, Xellent, Turi, Belvedere
