Even at $3.99, I would have passed since I would assume it would be too much like Fireball. My Trader Joe's vodka purchase (2006-19) used to be Monopolwa, which was $9.99 or $10.99 for a Litre. I cannot find it sold here in Florida.
As for regular Sobeiski, it is what buy here along with Pinnacle or Svedka. Whichever is on sale is my choice.

Remember, Tesco's attempt to enter the US market with "Fresh & Easy"? Every checkout lane was self-checkout, but there always was someone with an override card to check IDs.
