There's a lot of things I don't want, but couldn't have if I did want them.  And then there's things like this --- which I could have but would never buy because it's stupid.  In fact, it's doubly stupid.  It's stupid because super-premium vodka is stupid, and the people who buy it are only those who are incredibly susceptible to slick advertising.  It's also stupid because infused vodkas are great --- if you make them at home.  Otherwise, not so much (Hanger One Buddha's Hand excepted).  Good lord, just buy a pineapple and a gallon of Smirnoff and you'll have something twice as good as this.  Throw in a vanilla bean and it'll be even better.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[C.S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2009 5:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SKYY Debuts Pineapple Infused Vodka]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/15/skyy-debuts-pineapple-infused-vodka/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/15/skyy-debuts-pineapple-infused-vodka/</guid><description><![CDATA[Stop it. <br>This guy must drink his wine out of a box and think he's upscale. <br>This is a great idea that would have never made it to market... if they didn't think there was a market. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BlogHog]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2009 6:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SKYY Debuts Pineapple Infused Vodka]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/15/skyy-debuts-pineapple-infused-vodka/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/15/skyy-debuts-pineapple-infused-vodka/</guid><description><![CDATA[There's just something about that blue bottle!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MaryG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 15th 2009 8:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SKYY Debuts Pineapple Infused Vodka]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/15/skyy-debuts-pineapple-infused-vodka/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/15/skyy-debuts-pineapple-infused-vodka/</guid><description><![CDATA[Funny thing is Skyy isn't a super-premium at all.

Whereas Skyy and Popov are virtually indistinguishable from one another, even by those who regularly buy your Grey Gooses and your Belvederes. . . because the entire point of vodka is to produce a tasteless alcoholic beverage, whereas the point of a good wine is to bring more flavor.  <br><br>And I have indeed drunk a few box wines in my day.  As the Australians continue to put more and more high-end product in bag-boxes -- and as the rest of the world follows suit -- I'll probably drink quite a few more in the future.  I try not to let my drinking habits define my place on any social scale.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[C.S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 16th 2009 6:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on SKYY Debuts Pineapple Infused Vodka]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/15/skyy-debuts-pineapple-infused-vodka/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2009/04/15/skyy-debuts-pineapple-infused-vodka/</guid><description><![CDATA[oh snap!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jkbroderick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 7th 2009 4:28PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
