Sobieski Vodka, Poland's #1 Premium Vodka, Receives Gold Medal and 'Best Buy' Award at 2007 International Review of Spirits Competition PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Sobieski Vodka, Poland's #1 premium vodka and the world's #7 best selling international vodka, was awarded a Gold Medal and the "Best Buy" award by the Beverage Testing Institute (BTI), and was ranked the #1 premium vodka and #2 overall in a random blind-tasting of 108 vodkas, the largest review of vodkas in its history, that included extravagantly priced super-premium brands. (Photo: www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20071119/CLM022 ) Sobieski Vodka, which recently launched in the U.S., was declared "Exceptional," scoring 95 out of 100 points. It was noted to have "Great subtle, pure, and spicy rye flavors with a lively texture and superb smoothness ... A silky entry and lingering sweet citrus fade with virtually no heat." With its suggested retail price of $10.99 for a 750 ml bottle, the BTI deemed Sobieski Vodka, "An incredible value in a world of high priced vodkas." www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,226810.shtml

I tried it once in Las Vegas when we had BellaOnline meeting, but I do not remember that there is something special about it. Maybe I was too drunk

I bought some at a local Shop n Save grocery store a week ago Sunday: $8.99 a 750ml bottle. I tried it, tried it again, and tried it some more all week. I need a new bottle now as it is dangerously close to being empty. It is a VERY smooth, drinkable (strait, without mixers) Wodka. It has replaced the Belvedere and Chopin in my house (well, maybe keep a little Chopin for the potato lovers in the family). Nothing "special about it": its simply a smooth, premium Wodka at a reasonable price. What else could make it more "special"? Two thumbs up from the piwo household!

I can say that I don't drink Vodka now, but in my youth, when we partied, I have had my share. I don't know what brand it was-all we knew it was cheap and it was rough going down. Made us feel pretty good too. Now I just drink red wine, altho the bottle of blackberry brandy and peppermint liquor are evaporating in the closet.

I was never a vodka drinker...don't like the taste and probably never will. (Does this then not make me100% Polish....LOL) Gin and Scotch are my choices of poison. Maybe some may have seen a recent test done on vodka on TV. They took all the Greygoose drinkers and then took some other bottles of vodka and had them blindly pick their vodka.....not one picked it they all went for the cheaper saying it tasted the best and was definitley Greygoose . Boy were they all surprised to learn how badly they were influenced by good advertising.

Gin and Scotch are my choices of poison. They are horrible. Gin is alcoholised perfume while whiskey is red hooch on mice. How can people drink them at all? ? hahahahahaha

That what I say about those vodka drinkers....lighter fluid. Especially the martinis.
Actually it is Margaritas for me now, then gin & tonic nice and refreshing drink, then some nice wine, kinda dropped the scotch.
