It's like the way my tesco value chicken nuggets freeze long before the McCain ones

because it has more water content

You also need to factor in that Tesco vodka is approx 37.5% alcohol content, not 40% like some other brands

I've never known vodka to freeze - and I've put all sorts in our freezer, from the cheapest to the...erm...well, mid-range. It goes slightly gloopy, but never, ever freezes. Something weird there - was it the standard Tesco vodka, or their value range?

You mean to tell me Tesco is now in the business of something other than a "value range"

How about you stop putting it in the freezer?

The correct way to serve vodka is freezer-cold, neat. If it's right vodka, that is.

Maybe its piss?

georgieM · 22-12-2011 09:33AM

Is someone that lives with you taking sneaky shots and refill it with water

If you happen to live on a farm and keep pigs, I'd give some of that Tesco vodka to them as soon as it thaws out and before you drink any of it yourself. If the pigs can still see the next day, you're safe.:)

I never drink vodka, but have some Finlandia permanently in the freezer for the occasional guest, and it never freezes.:cool:

Absolut Vodka from freezer is a great way to drink vodka and with a fruit juice chaser on the side.

It's freezing point depression, the formula is Delta T = K(sub F)m where Delta T is the change in freezing point, Kf is a constant (-1.86m/C for H2O), and m is the molality of the soln.

If you want to calculate the freezing point of Vodka go through the following exercise.

Assume 1000g of soln, we'll use 80 proof in this example, 40% ethyl alcohol (CH3OH) and 60% H2O. That means we'll have 400g of CH3OH and 600g (0.6kg) H2O.

First, obtain the number of moles of CH3OH in the soln to determine molaity. CH3OH has a molar mass of 46.7g/mol.

(Mass CH3OH) / (Molecular Weight CH3OH) = moles CH3OH

(400g CH3OH) / (46.7g/mol CH3OH) = 8.57 mol CH3OH

Next calculate the molality of the soln.

(Moles Solute) / (Mass Solvent) = Molaity

(8.57 mol CH3OH ) / (0.6kg H2OH) = 14.28m

Now, plug into the freezing point depression equation.

Delta T = K(sub F)m

Delta T = (-1.86m/C)(14.28m) = -26.56C

so theres something wrong with your vokda

Boolax I am afraid.

The way Russians drink their Vodka is neat and straight from the freezer, or in their case, this time of year straight from outdoors. Its actually quite nice and refreshing that way, but warning, it goes down to easilly and it blows the head off you.

BUT our Vodka is weaker in alcohol so the water in it freezes. But if you spend a few more bucks and buy blue lable then you can serve that straight from the freezer.

Enjoy but heed the warning.

Just make vodka ice cubes and be done with it

Freezer? I keep my turpentine in the shed.

c_man · 22-12-2011 11:56AM

With all the drink offers on now there's really no excuse for it.

It really makes you think, in this day and age with all our advances, some citizens are forced to drink Tesco own brand

*goes to Mass to pray for yer souls*

It`s happened to me two weeks running now. My 12 euro bottle of Tesco Vodka has almost frozen solid when i have left it in the Freezer for a few hours. I`ve been leaving Vodka in the freezer for twenty years now without seeing a bottle freeze before.

Vodka shouldn`t freeze in a domestic fridge freezer should it?

Is it the cheap Tesco vodka, or my freezer?

ps. just realised how often i said the words freeze, frozen or freezer in that op.

Deepest apologies.

Smirnoff red label.
Enough said.

I find the best way to serve it is poured over pert breasts.

harry Bailey esq · 22-12-2011 01:18PM

alcohol does not freeze.so the bottle should definitely not freeze solid if the alcohol content is 37%.two things i would wonder about however.first of all why buy that teSco muck for 12 squid when for an extra 2 euro ya could buy something decent.secondly,who stores vodka in a freezer?

No, the breasts have to be pert.

Tesco Vodka is probably not actual Vodka, if it is freezing then it must be just Alcohol mixed with water and (possibly) flavouring. Actual Vodka would be chemically different and therefore have a different freezing point.

Stolen from net:

Well that's completely wrong anyway.

Is that not a total waste of perfectly good vodka though? :pac: The breasts will be there, vodka or no vodka!

No, I find the best way to serve vodka is poured over a pert pair of breasts.
If you are concerned about wasting vodka you can always use champagne as an alternative.

Why dont you buy two bottles, pour one into a bag put it in the freezer til its frozen then pour the other non frozen vodka into a glass and smash the frozen one and use it as ice cubes. (double vodkas with a bit of class).

Töpher · 22-12-2011 01:47PM

Or just use an ice tray.

Agent Smith · 22-12-2011 01:51PM

How low does it be before petrol freezes?

and if it freezes, what happens if you light it?

Yes, swallowing chunks of broken glass in your vodka is classy.

Uncontaminated petrol will freeze at about minus 60 celcius. However you cannot be sure that any petrol in your tank is free of water and other contaminants. If you are operating in hazardous conditions it is wise to add an additive such as methyl alcohol and assume a freezing point of minus 40C.
If you light it, the petrol vapour burns (unsurprisingly).

recyclebin · 22-12-2011 02:30PM

Get a hydometer to confirm the alcohol content. This will rule out alot of the theories.

Should my Tesco Vodka be freezing solid when i leave it in the Freezer?
