GREY GOOSE vodka is distilled in the gastronomy capital of the world, France, using the traditions of the Maître de Chai with only two ingredients – single-origin Picardie winter wheat and natural spring water.

It wasn't overnight, but Frank saw some promise in the stuff, and by the mid '80s, so did college kids. With a little help from a squadron of liquor ladies dubbed the “Jägerettes,” Frank brought us all the pleasure of knocking back shots of a rich, dark German liqueur in far too large a quantity.

Grey Goose entered the market as an Absolut Competitor. Part of the reason Frank invented Grey Goose was that he saw the success of the Absolut brand, which was priced highly for its time. Frank realized he could do one better. How to out-luxury a luxury brand? Raise the price.

Grey Goose is one of the most popular and successful vodka brands on the market. The clear spirit is made in France from high-quality wheat and fresh spring water. The fivefold distillation results in an extra soft and pure vodka.

Its fancy alliterated name and iconic frosted glass bottle are just two of the things that make it so recognizable. But the real reason Grey Goose is so popular is because of its opulent reputation - one of luxury, celebrity endorsements, and countless pop culture references.

Grey Goose believes if you're going to do something, show up and do it well - with action and with compassion. While Grey Goose is a global brand, our product is local, enjoyed in diverse moments and occasions by diverse cultures and people.

GREY GOOSE was created in 1997 by Sidney Frank and the brand's Maître de Chai (Cellar Master), Francois Thibault. It was acquired by Bacardi in 2004. Francois was inspired by his training as a cognac cellar master and created a vodka designed to express the true taste and character of the ingredients.

Grey Goose is a brand of vodka produced in France. It was created in the 1990s by American businessman Sidney Frank, who sold it to the multinational company Bacardi in 2004. The Maître de Chai for Grey Goose is François Thibault, who developed the original recipe for the vodka in Cognac, France.

The grey goose in the song was treated as a symbol of the "irrevocable destiny of the working class."

According to Grey Goose, the wheat is grown in France and comes from prime sources. It stands to reason that the distiller pays more for its grain than cheaper products do. The glass and packaging are also made in France, which is going to come at a premium price to their competitors.

There were no geese involved (or harmed) in the naming of Grey Goose. Though some subscribe to the belief that the brand's name was inspired by the many geese that drink from the fountain in front of Hôtel de Ville in Cognac, France, Frank himself said it was inspired by a German white wine with the same name.

By making the brand's primary symbol into the three geese lock up we hoped to convey a feeling of togetherness and conviviality. In the real world a goose is never seen flying alone, it's always part of a flock – a metaphor for the vodka consumption occasion itself.
