No, vodka does not age. In fact, it is not the aging in the bottle that makes for fine liquor, it is the aging in the cask.

Just looking at those prices there, that's rather expensive. Though that's obviously the point. Thing is, I don't think it'll make too much difference. It won't stop many people buying drink, and as you say, people could just wander across the border and buy it much cheaper. Is the extra money going to help people with alcoholism etc.? or to hospitals and things? If so, I think it's good, because that would be a two-fold attack on drinking, focusing on the cause and effects. However, if the money's just going into corporate or government coffers, well, that's another matter. Thing is, I just don't think it will work as well as they hope.

Vodka does not improve with age. It's lack of taste is the trademark of quality. The value of a bottle that is 25 years old would be its collect ability.

no vodka doesn't age. nor does it go bad..if you are a vodka drinker take the bottle and say thank-you, put it in the freezer and crack it in an hour. (you'll be savn yourself a couple of dollars). If you don't want to drink it,-take it say thank you and send it to me...my b-day is coming up ;)

No it doesn't, just drink it and don't be so ungrateful.
