No I haven't, but I'll keep my eyes peeled! Over here in the great Down Under, spirits are ridiculously priced compared to the States; Belvedere and Grey Goose is now around $50-60 a bottle, Vodka 0 is an Aussie vodka (which has won a few international awards) and can be picked up for $30-36.

What can be bought for the $19-29 range, in spirits.. Well, you generally wouldn't, unless you need a drink as well as a nail polish remover and a cleaning solvent!

I had no idea that booze was so expensive in Aus. Especially since most Aussies I've met really enjoy tying one on. Well, one advantage to living there though, is access to all that Bundaberg, which I haven't seen over here in the U.S., sadly.

Oh, we love to throw back a few alright, and the pricing is just part and parcel with it unfortunately.

Unfortunately Bundaberg I just can't do; I've been to the factory and sampled most of the extended range, it's just not my kind of rum!
