On vodka: Sobieski is not a good brand and "Luksusowa" is fine, but it's made of potatoes.

Personally, I strongly prefer vodkas made of wheat, they tend to be smoother and sit better (and the hangover is anegdotically less of a problem).

Also, people who think vodka quality doesn't matter clearly never drank a lot of vodka.

Personally I found Krepkaya the best I have ever tasted. Unfortunately very hard to find in my country these days

Absolut (Swedish) is my go to vodka, as even in Poland it's widely available and good quality.

From Polish brands, black Żubrówka, Ostoya and Chopin are good. Normal Żubrówka (the one with grass) is nice as well, but it's not neutral vodka (recommend with apple juice).

And obviously Belvedere is the fancy brand.

Sobieski is my fav as I prefer rye grain vodka. Russian Standard Platinum was my go to for "clean" tasting vodka.
