Anybody who pays more than $20 for a bottle of vodka is brain-dead. "Distilled through granulated diamonds and gems"? WTF? Diamonds & gems aren't porous, so they aren't exactly imparting any flavor or removing any impurities.

$20? Does the vodka you buy come in plastic jugs? Or do you just buy it in pints?

If one can afford to put down $1M on a bottle of anything, it no longer matters what anything costs. $20/$30/$1M; it's all the same...nothing.
Those same people think their http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/Human_Feces.jpg/747px-Human_Feces.jpg looks like diamonds. And it just may.

Damn.
I don't particularly like wine a whole lot either. has a weird taste.
Apparently Mad Dog is basically hobo wine.
Which, really doesn't surprise me a whole bunch, with a name like "Mad Dog."

boxed wine is never ever good,its like buying a suit off the rack.
awful.

On the other hand, you have to wonder what premium you're paying for all that glass. And I'd still rather buy 10000 cartons of boxed German wine than 1 diamond-encrusted bottle of Pinot Grigio. Just sayin'...

that is also very true.my rule with drinking is i will pay a little bit more than the cheapest crap but i wont go overboard ,because after two or three,I am not even going to be able to tell the difference,even if i could tell before the first glass.

do they mix and make it in a bathtub?
the horrible part about cheap vodka that i always found was that the hangover the next day was so so horrible.
nogodsnomasters85 May 23, 2008, 06:52 AM Anyone who HAS $1,946,617 and can think of NOTHING better to do with it than buy one retardedly overpriced bottle of vodka should be executed, and they're assets used to provide social services. (IE: support for the poor, clean up the environment, education, etc.) Imagine the tragedy if they did buy it and it tasted like crap? When I was in junior high and high school it was Gordons' vodka, for like 11 bucks a jug, tastes like rubbing alcohol but does it ever do the job.

Probably. But it's EXCITING. ;)
