:D Strangely enough, no.

I'm pretty much a teetotaller. Don't have a taste for booze.
More of a hot chocolate person.
I did have a glass of wine last year, maybe I'll have another glass this Christmas.

Vodka.com is a great domain name.

For a list of some of the hottest domain sales check out http://www.multireg.com/article494.html

Some comparables I found include:
Beer.com - $7 million (2004)
Wine.com sold for $3.3 million+ (Sep 1999, resold in 2001 at bankruptcy auction)

That seems odd. Beer doesnt seem to be as big as vodka. Yet sells for twice as much. But then again to the right buyer any name is worth millions. .

Google Search Results:

"beer" = 119 million
"vodka" = 23.5 million

Hate to break it to you, but almost everyone drinks beer, not everyone drinks vodka (this from an experienced fraternity man!)

I do like the idea of owning a vineyard. After visiting one in Oz last year, the notion struck me.
I've got wine.vc, maybe I should start growing grapes?

vc=very chilled

The new DN Journal newsletter has the full story with photos of both seller and buyer. Interesting story on how they closed the deal.
