Which country produces the best vodka?
Vote for Poland!
Picasso named Polish vodka one of three greatest achievements in XX century.
(He forgot it dates back as far as some XV one)

Lithuanians invented vodka, Russians perfected it, Poles took the credit and Swedes/Finns make the money.

This question is easy.

Russia, of course!
They have such a long tradition in it. The best vodka I've tasted comes from russia, no doubt.

3) Poland belongs to Russia.

Russia. Finnish vodka, just like Swedish vodka, is nothing extraordinary. However, Sweden makes very good Aquavites (i.e. flavoured vodkas).

Actually Polish vodka is not bad , even though if I scan my memories for it, they are rather unpleasant. This comes from 3 Polish guys in a train from Frankfurt/Oder to Berlin, who filled me up with Zubrovka. 3 shots of it with 125 ml (>4oz) each in 10 minutes and without eating (a crime, considering russian drinking habits) almost killed me. My gf, who met me in Berlin, was veeery pleased with my condition.

Based on cost versus performance... India.

Based on taste (I haven't tried Polish) I would say the half litre of Soviet State vodka I consumed back in the 90s was the best I've tried - no doubt it's even better today.

Take Sweden off the list- we don't do Vodka, we do Brännvin. Not the same thing!

Russia, of course!

But only until Japan, Korea or Taiwan copy it like they do with everything else.
