A pretty good idea is to not really listen to the alcohol advice of anyone who touts Grey Goose. In case you didn't know, this is an over-priced and over-marketed vodka for which the reputation far exceeds its actual quality. Definitely look elsewhere.

Thank you for being one of the first people I've heard who also knows this.

I guess people cant just like it more? For whatever reasons?

The only reason people think grey goose is good vodka is because it's marketed that way, and it's expensive. You can walk in the store and pick out tons of vodkas that both taste better, and are cheaper. Most people who actualy think grey goose is their favorite vodka are very easily convinced by adds, or they just assume that more money means better.

I have never ever seen a SINGLE ad for grey goose in my life, and I think it tastes the best. Less burn, smoother, tastes best mixed, are just a few reasons I like it. I dont go touting my tastes to everyone else like you obviously more wise and sophisticated people do, but thats what I think tastes good.

I don't claim to be wise or sophisticated, but as someone else has already added to this thread, the entire idea behind grey goose was to take a pretty good vodka and market it likes it's great. The entire idea behind it bothers me so much that I'll never buy another bottle of it again in my life, especialy because I know of several other vodkas that taste better "to me" and are cheaper.
