Wyborowa? I like that one, along with the Luksusowa (what I have now). I'm not a vodka connoiseur by any means, but all I know is that these taste good to me, don't cost too much, and that Smirnoff is like gasoline. I've had Ketel One and prefer the Luksusowa.

They don't seem to sell this Sobieski here in BC, but I'll have to try out some of the other brands mentioned here...

The only true sipping vodka I've come across is U'Luvka, absolutely zero aftertaste and when over ice it's literally like sipping water.

Going to have to agree with everyone else that Grey Goose is nothing more than barely passable vodka wrapped in massive marketing hype stemming mainly from wannabe ballers and kids that think drinking alcohol begins and ends with JagerBombs. Thank you MTV Cribs for providing the world with yet another high class service

Absolut, Stoli, Smirnoff, Finlandia, Russian Prince, etc. are all no better than lighter fluid and completely undrinkable unless I'm already REALLY REALLY drunk first.

For those of you that haven't watched Wodka Wars yet, it's well worth the half hour!

This stuff isn't bad. I keep it on hand for tasty vodka tonics and screwdrivers.

I really liked this vodka and damn near drank on whole bottle over ice before I realized what I was doing. A good spirit from bourbon masters. I actually bought it to support local business and was very pleased with the purchase.

I was drinking that stuff for several weeks because it was so inexpensive and I liked the taste as well. But, I swear it kills more brain cells than most other vodkas I drink. Or maybe I was just hitting it harder than I did the others?

I'm a Svedka fan. I have definitely tested my sobriety limits and then gone about 10 drinks past that limit and have never, ever once woke up the next morning with the jackhammer crew in my head. I cannot say that about many other quality adult products. Svedka is definitely my Quap of choice.

Thanks for the tips Matt. Yesterday I bought myself a bottle of
Luksusowa (I wanted to try potato vodka). I'm having a frosty glass now while watching the Eagles getting their butts kicked by the Cards.
I left the bottle outside on my porch last night were temps where about zero. Smooth, sweet with a nice spicy finish that's fantastic.
Thanks to your advice I'll be picking up a bottle of Sobieski tomorrow for comparison.
I hope it tastes like Lee Lee Sobieski!

I'm a college person, so I will drink anything, but when I go home I have more of an option as to what I can drink. I like Grey Goose when I'm at home, but I will definitely try Sobieski.
