I’m not sure if you’re familiar, but I think it was the podcast Radiolab did an episode on vodka. They talk about how strictly regulated what you can call vodka is. The guy who created grey goose literally made vodka and marketed it as using special water from some spring. He tripled the price and people paid for it.

This is literally the premise behind grey goose vodka. The way vodka is regulated, there’s not a huge difference in quality between different vodkas. They’re all the same stuff, it just might have a little more tail in there and you’ll get more of a hangover. But not enough to justify a $20 bottle vs a $50 bottle. Or more.
