Russky Standart
I just bought a really superb vodka from Melbourne duty free that is labeled in Cyrillic (it is imported from Russia but I suspect made for the western market), "Russky Standart Vodka". Very good (better than Grey Goose) and cheap (AUD 26 per litre). There is a premium version which is slightly better but almost double the price (they have an open bar at that duty free and are willing to let you taste almost anything they sell, at least anything under $100/bottle).

Vodka
No doubt that BELUGA is the numero uno Vodka avialable as of today.

Not that its "real" Vodka... but Argentine made Primo Vodka is actually quite decent....

Roth, from california; it's a grape vodka. Really tasty, but hard to find.

Hahaha I assure you, Roth is nothing like Grappa..thankfully! It's pretty smooth stuff, but definitely different than a grain or potato vodka.

The new Belvedere Black Raspberry Vodka is really good in the flavored vodka category.

I've been making a concerted effort to get through the 3L bottle of Roth I have in the freezer, and I have to say it's really grown on me. It seems like a fairly complex spirit, perhaps due to the grapes. Just sipping it with a dash of tonic or on the rocks really has made it interesting.
