Belvedere vs. Grey Goose

grey goose for sure

its smoother

i might be biased but i think belvedre is nicer. hard to describe but when you drink it warm (well in room temperature) it just goes down smoother. but probably as u said - grey goose wins thanks to marketing. i also think belvedre is like double the price?

the greyest of geese

belvedere is much better when neither r chilled.

Chilled wise, they r about even, but I think belvedere has a more rounded potato-y aftertaste, whereas grey goose goes down smoother. Regardless they r almost exactly the same when cold, and it'd be hard to find the difference.

Both are really well marketed bottles I like them cause the bottles are really gorgeous.

But ketel1 is easily the smoothest and better value than either. College kids swear by grey goose but imo the diff is night and day.

As for the pole, belvedere has the better bottle

I like Belvedere more, thou its double the prize so I dunno why you are really comparing ;p

ciroc is better than both of those

vodka has no taste, so pick whichever one you want because you wont be tasting the difference.

Try this vodka,



by far the smoothest I've ever had. A bottle at our liquor store is about $110, so it's kind of expensive. But if you enjoy vodka, you have to try it.

Purity Vodka entered the Vodka Masters and the Travel Retail Masters arranged by the magazines The Spirit Business and The Drink Business for the third year in a row. 2011 Purity Vodka received 3 masters in the categories Smooth, Scandinavian and Organic and 4 golds in the categories Micro Distillery, White Spirits and Packaging and Design.

Both same price here. Grey goose barely has any smell, which is why i like it. Both are smooth./ w/e

yea dunno where u going that belvedere is double the price of goose...

sometimes its marginally more expensive but ive never seen double!

and i prefer grey goose anyway, im honestly not sure why, probably just been brainwashed by marketing.

Drank a lot of this in Mongolia when I was in the Peace Corps. Best vodka I've ever had and I've had almost all of the ones listed so far in this thread. Costs $10 USD for black label and $20 for gold (yeah, third world prices =) but might be more if imported.

yup, expensive vodka is for pretentious snobs imo. most people don't drink vodka for the taste -_-

i have been known to enjoy a nice wine or cognacscotchbrandywhiskeyetc but i'm w/e on vodka. some finnish ppl turned me on to some of their concoctions which i feel is how you should drink vodka. most ppl drink vodka w/ a mixer so there is basically no difference between goose, belvedere, stoli, smirnoff, w/e. due to pop culture, good marketing, and by now a bit of nostalgia i have the belief that goose gets the gals loose meaningfully better than other options so i guess that's my final answer.

That list pretty much sums it up, although I would put Belvedere 3rd, Stoli 4th, and then Absolut 5th, followed by Goose in 6th.
