Grey Goose Vodka

The French never produced vodkas. One day a smart marketing group, which promoted Belvedere earlier (an excellent vodka, by the way) lost the contract and had to move on. So they created a very highly priced brand in a nice bottle...

There was and is only one trick - the vodka has no taste. If you need something to mix with a juice, it can pass (even though is a bit pricey for that - if you don't like flavor, buy diluted spirit, why bother?). But if you want a vodka that has some real taste, go for other brands (like Belvedere, or Luksusowa, or - from Russian ones - Flagman or Moskovskaya).
