>I'm always baffled by people swooning over "good vodka". You're drinking industrial alcohol, diluted with distilled water! There's no flavor left.

Maybe you just have bad taste buds, i am baffled by people who don't taste the difference, an it's probably because you drink vodka that is made with distilled water.

The Vodka that you said is one of the best you've ever had is

"Bei dessen Herstellung wird bestes Dinkel Getreide 4-fach destilliert."

No, the point is that the purest vodka is just ethanol and pure water, which you can approximate by distilling the water. I also don't understand why "good" vodka has any appeal at all, perhaps my bias.

No one said anything about the purest..that would be tasteless.
