To feel uneasy about drinking this vodka?

I know it's a bit early for an alcohol thread but I just saw the bottle and thought 'Right, I will do a thread about it!'. We bulk buy chicken breasts from the local chicken factory, on Tuesday, DP went to his mates (said mate gets it for us) house to collect the chicken and came home with a bottle of vodka. Lemon or lime flavour apparently. He says it's legit but it's in an old chardonnay bottle with a sticky label over the top of the original label with C/Vodka 11/12 written on it.

I don't know if anyone watches Emmerdale or Hollyoaks but both soaps have had recent storylines about dodgy vodka (mixed with bleach etc) and it's really put me off trying it. I don't know who made it or where it's come from, all I can get off DP is 'X got it off a mate' (X being the bloke that gets the chicken for us).

AIBU to feel uneasy about drinking it?

And I seem to have completely missed the 'home distilled' post. Time for another coffee, obviously not quite awake today...

I wouldn't drink any alcohol from anyone I didn't trust. Just google the side effects of ethylene glycol or methanol both of which can be found in dodgy alcohol. It's probably completely harmless and has been properly bought and then flavoured (we do this to our alcohol sometimes) but you can't be sure if you don't know who exactly it's come from.

I would be very wary considering what some people do to make cheap "alcohol"
