So you must come to Poland if you like it, it's more or less half of that price over here. :-)))
Air fare to Poland is about a thousand $ - that raises the price by quite a bit! Dinner at the Belvedere restaurant might be worth the trip...
Hey, hey, when did you last buy wodka? Half a litre of Chopin costs about 43-45 zlotys, so a litre of it is about 26$. Not such a big difference. Besides, a Pole who would want to buy Chopin must have something wrong with his brain.
Idealna vodka (Lublin's finest) is best, and about 1/100 the price of Chopin.
