As far as vodkas go, the rule of thumb is "the farther north, the better." Vietnamese vodka is shit. I tasted smoother gasoline.
My preference in vodkas is Scandinavian. Reyka was already mentioned, it is outstanding. I will always have a soft spot for Finlandia, especially cranberry. Plain is perfect as base for pertsovka.
One of the best Russian vodkas I ever had was the Jewel of Russia. It is very hard to find, but if you ever see it, get it.

I am afraid that women appreciate cruelty, downright cruelty, more than anything else. They have wonderfully primitive instincts. We have emancipated them, but they remain slaves looking for their masters all the same. They love being dominated.
