Advantages: Cheap

Disadvantages: Tastes disgusting

There are a lot of things, most things in fact, which you can buy within a value range and find to be nearly as great as a brand product (and occassionally better). But supermarket value vodka (and other spirits) is not one of them and that counts for Tesco Value Vodka as well.

Getting down to it it is the taste of the product which dramatically brings it down and this is obviously the most important factor. I could only possibly liken the taste of this drink to paint stripper (in smell too) and I can't stand tasting it in a decent solution of vodka and coke, nevermind on its own in shots.

But it is incredibly cheap, so it has a redeeming factor! A 70cl costs under £7 which tends to be the cheapest you'll find. But I do honestly think it's well worth paying an extra few quid for a decent bottle, especially if you're just buying the one.

But, a product which is cheap and tastes disgusting can still be good when already drunk and if you're really diluting the taste with someone else. It's been great for me in terms of serving it to random drunken friends at parties, but I still wouldn't touch it or really give it to loved ones.

As a little point I'd just like to say the presentation isn't too great either and looks incredibly lones with the rest of the spirits in my house as it just looks incredibly cheap and unattractive.

Summary: Pay a few quid extra if you can afford it
