Despite the fact that almost every country has its own interpretation of this type of alcohol, vodka is a truly Russian drink, our national pride. Today on the shelves of shops you can find a great variety of names of vodka. How to make the right choice? Our quality rating of vodka is based on tests carried out by experts from the Independent Vodka Laboratory, and is calculated for each brand as the arithmetic average of the ratings of its smell, taste and softness.
The rating of vodka in the opinion of Russian consumers is determined by the difference in the number of positive and negative reviews and reflects the current index of satisfaction with the quality and price of the product.
A good vodka in Russia costs at least 250 rubles per 0.5 liter, the most expensive is about 2000 rubles. It is dangerous or pointless to go beyond these ranges when buying. Cheap vodka is either fake or of poor quality, which means a headache cannot be avoided. Too expensive vodka most likely does not differ in taste and hangover properties from most in the middle price segment.

According to the given rating, the best vodka in Russia in 2017, according to experts, is "Parliament Fito", in turn, consumers prefer "Finlandia". As the saying goes: "There are no comrades for taste and color."
The choice of even such a seemingly simple drink as vodka should be treated with special care. Whatever connoisseur you are and whatever your preferences, it is worth remembering one golden rule - "Everything is good in moderation."
Without a doubt, Chistye Rosy should be in the top three.
Thank you, Ilya!
Firstly, for the fact that they treated the matter with understanding, and secondly, for a good site. Any ratings and tops have always interested people. And it's good that there is a rating of the best vodka brands - for a certain part of the population this is what you need. By the way, I will note that making a rating of vodka is not the easiest thing ... Better to drink it and not bother; or even better - don't drink at all)
Best wishes, Dr. Schnapps.
Cool, please post a list of the best snacks and ratings of sobering-up centers! And everything will be superb! :)
