Newest Review: ... I decided to buy a bottle of the Basics Gin (review to follow), and a bottle of the Basics Vodka both of which were priced at ... more
... £9:85 for a 70Cl bottle which is around 50% cheaper than the branded vodka's and Gins.
Siansbury's Basics Vodka comes in a standard shaped clear glass bottle, and has an aluminium screw on cap at the top of the bottle. To the front of the bottle there is a paper label, coloured in the bright orange and white lettering which represents the whole of the Basics brand.
When I purchased the Vodka I had realized that this was unlikely to be a fantastic tasting vodka which could be enjoyed neat, and so I thought that it w...more

Sainsburys Basic's Vodka... I have decided to review a few of the things that made christmas 2009 that little bit easier (cheaper) for us. Today I am going to review Sainsburys Basic's Vodka. Basically because we had a family and friends get together boxing night and I used it then, however it wasn't used for mixers or neat. I actually used it in Punch, flavoured Vodka and jelly vodkas, I did have a quick taste neat but have to say compared to smirnoff or Absolut, it wasn't that great. It did however save me some money to buy more smirnoff for the Neat and mixer vodka drinkers. ~~ The Product ~~ This Vodka comes in a very plain ... Read the complete review

Just before last Christmas I realized I needed to stock up on a few bottles of spirits, as I had a few party's to cater for at my house over the festive period. I do a lot of my shopping at my local Sainsbury's store which was built around 2 years ago, and has proven to be very popular in our area. Whist browsing the aisles for a few cheap bottles, I realized that the cheapest option was Sainsbury's own brand, which is called Sainsbury's Basics. This brand is similar to what you would find at Tesco (Tesco Value) or Asda (Asda Smart price), and is just a range of products which are produced and packaged in a budget fashion to keep the cost down. I have ... Read the complete review

Vodka is not usually my tipple of choice, I am much more of a gin and tonic kind of girl. But I do love to make flavoured vodkas to give away at Christmas. In all the recipes I have looked at, it says to use a mid range vodka rather than the cheapest you can find, but I disagree. The bottle itself is plain and simple, a clear glass bottle with a white label with the Sainsbury's Basics logo on the front. The ingredients are stated as 'neutral grain spirit and demineralised water' and it is 37.5% volume. It has a white screw top aluminium lid. A 70cl bottle costs just £9.29, making it £13.27 per litre. As a comparison, Sainsbury's vodka is £10.49 for ... Read the complete review

I've tried many different vodka's during my first year of university, most of them cheap, and this one is one of the cheapest available. Coming in at between £8.50 and £9.00 (usually around £8.70) for a 70cl bottle, you would have to be mental to complain about the price. As the name suggests basics vodka is just that, basic. There is no fancy packaging; it just comes in a plain glass bottle with a white cap and a plain white label with the usual sainsbury's basics style writing. This vodka is 37.5% which is usual for cheap vodka as normally only the more expensive ones are 40% or above. The small difference in alcoholic content doesn't make much of a ...

I admit to liking a drink. So do my mates and so whenever I go shopping I buy a bottle of something of the other for when party nights and crazy times happen. Anyone who buys vodka will know that its isn't cheap from well known brands so on a recent shopping trip to Sainsbury's I was mooching about for a bargain alcohol wise and when comparing prices of the vodka they had on the shelves this 700ml of Sainsbury's Basics Vodka worked out the cheapest option at £9.85 so I grabbed a bottle of it thinking it has to be worth a go! The packaging of this though is cheap looking so I hid the bottle so others wouldn't see it! Its a tall glass bottle with orange and ... Read the complete review
