        Most vodka is “fine”, the issue is that it’s neutral and tasteless - which is certainly better than “rough and disgusting” like many bottom shelf spirits, but you don’t have to settle for either of those in this day and age if you’re not extremely poor. And if you can afford Stolichnaya, you can definitely afford something that tastes good.

            I don’t think flavored vodka counts! Might as well say “my favorite vodka is Tanqueray London Dry Gin”.
            Zubrowka Biala is actually my go-to vodka, though, it’s great value and gets the job done when I’m making White Russians.
