Every year we’re inundated with new vodka brands, each claiming the superiority of their product is leaps and bounds better than whatever else is on the market. Commercials and magazines ads proliferate the market and soon enough the balance of gullible people moves the scales. Before you know it some new brand becomes the cool thing that cool people drink.
There’s no judgment here, just do you. However for those of you who respect stability and quality over flash, you’ll be happy with what Belvedere has to offer.

Spike Lee has repped Brooklyn hard since the days of Mars Blackmon so it is no surprise that he is on board with the new Absolut Brooklyn vodka.
The design features a brownstone bearing the address number from his childhood home in Bed-Stuy. The flavor is apple and ginger infused.
Absolut will also donate $50,000 to Habitat for Humanity specifically for funding of homes in Bedford Stuyvesant. Absolut Brooklyn will retail for $24.99 and will be available in stores from June 15.

Chopin Vodka debuted the largest bottle of vodka ever produced this past weekend at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The bottle, standing seven feet tall, is an exact replica of Chopin Vodka’s signature bottle.
The 7-foot tall bohemoth was signed by celebrities including Sandra Bullock (Blind Side), Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland, Hurricane Season), James Cameron (Avatar) and more. The 200-liter bottle will be auctioned off for charity later this year with the proceeds going to the Grammy Foundation.
