There's a lot of money to be made with ultra-premium vodka. Water down industrial ethanol, put it in a fancy bottle, create a style/mystique for it, ???, profit

blahblahblahblah.

Its ****ing alcohol for gods sake. Why does he need to rant like a college professor about it. A simple line would be, "Crystal Head Vodka, it'll get you ****ed up!"

I'm guessing most of the money went into the making of those bottles and marketing.

Drinking out of a Crystal Skull would probably make Indy IV more enjoyable.

=/ It didn't strike me as absurd as this thread makes it seem ... he's not saying the Vodka is going to heal you or has magical powers or whatever, he's just selling it as a novelty item and attaching the whole crystal skulls myth to give it a bit of flair. Like he said at the end, it's just "a luxury vodka in a cool bottle". 70% of the video wasn't even about the Vodka but just stuff to fluff the myth and add to the "experience".

I dunno how much it costs but if it isn't absurdly expensive I'd certainly buy one just for kicks... for, like TimeWolf mentioned, an Indy IV screening or something.

There really is a difference between alk of different qualities... Trying to pass off something like Banker's Club as the same as Pravda is just lying.

Precisely. I can't believe this seems to bother some of you so much.

BTW, it's not diamonds, it's quartz.

I would SO drink Vodka that came in a gun-shaped bottle. One step closer to a ROCKET CAN.

Of course. That's the whole scam with ultra-premium vodka. Most of the ultra-premiums buy their ethanol from elsewhere. If the relevance of that doesn't strike you, think of it this way: You're paying $60 to let someone water down alcohol they bought for pennies to the gallon.

The vodka craze started in the late 70s when it surpassed rum and bourbon as America's favorite spirit. Premium vodkas like Absolut and Ketel 1 sold really well. So Sidney Frank had an idea, if he made a vodka priced more than the premiums, would people buy it? The answer was obviously yes.

The distillers themselves have seen how profitable this is, so a few of them have started their own ultra-premium brands and cut out the middleman.

That video is the greatest thing I've ever seen. There's just so much about it that's completely off-the-wall.
If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager.

That Kalashnikov bottle is pretty sweet. Any idea how much that whole package would run you up? I've seen it online before but never with a listed price.

Pretty sure pissing diamonds would probably rip your "inner penis" to bits..

It would just add a splash of red to the sparkle display.
