Liquid Diet The end of vodka?
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Mon, May 4, 2009 at 5:01 PM
This story makes me a little sad. I like vodka.
A Web site entitled the End of Vodka (theendofvodka.com), hosted by the makers of an açaí-flavored liqueur called VeeV, spitefully depicts vodka drinkers as “vodka bots” — like the suited hedge-fund type, animated on the site, chanting “models and bottles,” or the miniskirted blonde who bubbles “girls’ night out!”The “tofu of the bar” — as Paul Clarke, a cocktail blogger, calls vodka — appears to be losing its once-mighty cachet (if not, however, its dominant market share). An instant relic, perhaps, of the dissipated boom times (Trump vodka, anyone? ... Anyone?). Or maybe a victim of America’s savvier taste buds. To hear some people talk, either way, it’s time to consign vodka to the same mock-worthy bin as white zinfandel, and be done with it.
Well, what do you think? Are the glory days of vodka over with?
