Żubrówka and Wyborowa are very popular (first choice list), Potocki is more of an export product, and as I see the price it's about 3x more than Absolut or Finlandia and 4x Wyborowa, so it explains a lot. Near the Potocki price tag, Belvedere seems to be more known, but here I speak for myself, I'm from Warsaw and Belvedere is from Żyrardów (about 40km) while Potocki is from another region, maybe that's why I know this brand better, don't know, I drink a lot but to be honest I'm not a vodka expert.
About drinking Finlandia, Absolut etc. in PL, I think one thing is the price placement - it's a bit more expensive than popular local vodkas yet not too expensive as premium brands, second thing is the 'imported' factor, as in your beer example - people like import stuff even if sometimes local is desired abroad.
Oh, I love to drink an ale sometimes :) Most of Polish beer is crap so in this subject I don't have to be ashamed of drinking imports :)
