Advantages: good cheap mixer

Disadvantages: none

I work as quality control for an alcohol factory that makes and bottles Red Square Vodka.

Red Square Vodka is own by Halewood int. based in Liverpool. It is a 37.5% vodka. Looks wise, it comes in a clear bottle with a red cap with Red Square printed on it. The labels are clear with red writting on them.

About 18 months ago the receipe for Red Square Vodka was changed to cut back on costs, Halewood had a few financial problems about 2 years ago. Most consumers aren't aware of the change in the receipe.

The vodka which is now labelled as Red Square is actualy a standard, cheap vodka, the same vodka we label for tesco, asda ect. as their value vodkas.

The ONLY vodka still using the oringinal receipe is Spars own brand Imperial Vodka (they bought the rights to the receipe). The new style 'basic' Red Square is still a good vodka if being used as a mixer but I wouldn't recommend drinking it neat. It has no added ingredients to give it 'extra' taste that makes a good neat vodka but overall still a good, clean tasting vodka.

Red Square vodka is available in 20cl, 35cl, 70cl and 1 litre bottles.

Summary: if you prefer the old tatse buy spars imperial vodka
