After tasting this deliciously smooth vodka, you will understand why Medea is the recipient of multiple awards. Medea’s patented LED technology allows the user to program the bottle with a personalized message. The first response the Medea bottle evokes is "Wow!".

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Wine.com at 4.8 against Medea Vodka's 3.6. Wine.com also leads on ratings volume (85K vs 62) and review sentiment (62% vs 47%). Medea Vodka's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
