Bargain Booze

The Beverage Tasting Institute (wouldn't that be sweet to have on your business card?) held a Best Buy Bar competition, where they rated low-priced liquor. This is a great idea- all we hear about are the newer, most expensive brands of booze that are impractical to drink every day.

Read the intro and links to all the winners here, or read the overall winners here. As far as brands you've actually heard of, some winners were Svedka vodka , Old Forester bourbon, Smirnoff Lime vodka, and The Famous Grouse blended scotch whisky.

This would be a great list to take with you on your next visit to the beverage warehouse store.
