    Hi Lads and Ladies,

    Heading down on friday morning and I dont intent on being ripped off for pints of Heineken. So, I'll be getting circa 3L of Vodka tomorrow, where is the cheapest place in Dublin(Centre or Southside) to get it? Will probably be getting a small amount of cider too. Any deals going?

    Thanks guys,
    Lethal(Buzzing to go!)

    Prob not the cheapest but Remond's in Ranelagh do Count Rostov vodka which is around €15 for 70cl.

    You're bound to find something better but it's a start!

    You're better off saving the money for the rip-off pints.Up until this morning I was going to be doing security at oxegen and from what I've heard, it sounds like it's going to be very tight for what gets in this year.

    Having tried many a type of vodka, I can safely advise staying away from the Tesco Value stuff. There is other Tesco branded vodka that's not too bad though and a few € extra. Best bet would be Lidl stuff, you won't be as badly off after it!

    +1 on that

    DO NOT go near Tesco Value Vodka, it destroys your stomach and your weekend - you will be getting sick - and gives you the mother of all hangovers. Its just nasty. Not worth it for saving 2-3 euro.

    700ml bottles of Kulov/Vladivar/Huzzar are all between E14-16 in offies.

    If you want something a little better you'll get Smirnoff & Finlandia for the E17 mark in most offies (better value to be had in the supermarkets).

    True, Absolute has taken a major step down on the premium ladder eve though still charading as a premium product :rolleyes:. However it is still better than most regular vodka according to my wife and you can even get it in Ireland now for about 50% less than it used to be. The problem with vodka is that they can pump it out without much hassle and the more they pump out the less filtration they usually do hence the vodka gets rougher.

    Absolute I think it is the second biggest selling vodka after Smirnoff so that tells a story in it's self :rolleyes: The wife thinks smirnoff is total crap and this is a much better alternative for the price.

    She loves Grey Goose but at over €45 a bottle in Ireland not an everyday alternative and you can't pass up offers like that. :D
