What makes a vodka more expensive?

Question

i mean what's the difference between popov, smirnoff, and grey goose? what makes it better?

Answer 1

its a combination of quality, brand name & advertising. same with any product.

The better the product, the more the advertising, and the more they advertise affects the price, same as say apple juice, cars, or laundry detergent, basically what makes a capitolist economy work.

Answer 2

the country it comes from and the way it is distilled  

Answer 3

Advertising budget.   The better brands use more expensive ingredients, but if you mix the vodka instead of drinking it straight up that distinction is lost.

Grey Goose is the better of the three.

real cheap vodka is not distilled properly

Answer 7

vodka can be made from a variety of things including, grain, molasses and potato, after the first distilling it is redistilled to eliminate impurities and produce a pure high strength product which is then passed through charcoal which removes all tastes and smell of the original product leaving a neutral spirit (unlike gin, rum or brandy). So the price reflects how many times it has been through the charcoal filter process and the original product, and whether it has been re-distilled, some spirits like jameson irish whiskey- are triple distilled. plus all the other adds etc that people mentioned
