The relationship between a Russian and a bottle of vodka is almost mystical.

Martinis are glamorous but also so simple because they only have a few ingredients, and you can really taste the vodka.

Russians really needed a product that would be not as strong as vodka and not as feminine as cheap sparkling wine, so Martini was a good solution.

There are a lot of people who are trying hard to sell themselves as Russian vodkas.

I'm not against vodka - they just asked us. They put out some story about us entertaining international celebrities with vodka, which of course wasn't true.

Whiskey's to tough, Champagne costs too much, Vodka puts my mouth in gear. I hope this refrain, Will help me explain, As a matter of fact, I like beer.

Considering that Americans are now moving away from whiskey, moving away from brown spirits in general, I believe that they will all join Russians who drink vodka straight. They will sip it like cognac.

It sucks, but no Long Islands or margaritas when you drink. It has to be straight vodka.

I'm really, really dumb about describing wine, but I like wine that's full-bodied and dry.

I still drink vodka; I'm not an advocate of drinking, but I'm no angel. I don't like grass, because it just makes me hungry.
