Google 'blind vodka taste test', grey goose come out on top in any....no
You're fooling yourselves, falling for the marketing.

Professional taste tester Isark said: “Vodka is an almost flavourless white spirit that can be made from almost any agricultural product that has fermentable sugars.

“Grey Goose is just a French produced grain vodka in a fancy bottle that’s sold at a super-premium price £38, and just like French perfumes, we Brits have bought into Grey Goose’s clever marketing big time.

“Most drinkers would struggle to tell the difference drunk neat never mind with an added mixer.”

Some brands also make claims to be filtered multiple times or come from water sourced from glaciers. But none of this makes a difference, Isark added.

Paid 26.49 on amazon and thought that was a good price. This is excellent deal

Grey Goose is grossly overpriced anyway. £22 is about 150% of the price it should be.

You should have paid more for your keyboard, it appears to be missing the letters R and D.

Does this definitely finish today?

if alan sugar's apprentices can invent gin, hukdealers should crowdfund for a flamedeer ale or spirit ...this time next year we'll be millionaires....ho ho ho

Amazon lightning deal for next 3 hours
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IYFR81W/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_lGBtyb1G0FX56

there is huge difference is taste (not being so harsh and bitter),after taste,being easily drinkable and the having less after effects (headaches, etc) among Vokas.so actually is does matter.

Thank you for posting just got myself two bottles at the Wimbledon store - more left on the shelf if anyone is interested.

Just been to Grimsby morrisons. Picked up a bottle of jd and a single malt. Plenty Glenlivet left but only three jd. Didn't check the grey goose as vodka is vodka doesn't matter how many times its distilled.

Spoke with a friend who works at Morrisons he said they are going to try and get the deal on for a few extra days when they get their next delivery as the first lot sold out in 20 minutes

Good luck trying to get this tryed 5 stores all out of stock and yet the deal is off tomorrow,i bet there will be plenty stock as soon as the deal is off

I don't really care about Grey Goose and definitely don't care what this Isark guy said,what I do care about is my own taste buds and how I feel the next day and I have to say there is HUGE difference between cheap nasty Vodka and good high quality Vodka.
there is no doubt about it.

excellent thanks. time to stock up on goose Glen and jd.

SMIRNOFF 1lt for £15.
Corona 330ml bottles x18 for £10

Mum's local store (Bishopbriggs) told her they will get more stock, so worth asking if there's nothing on the shelf.

Coventry Coundon store has no stock, apparently sold out in an hour

Hopefully more stock in before the offer ends

Does anyone know if the deal applies to Honey JD?

hi where abouts

Thanks for the tip, just been to Morrisons and topped up the JD, Glenlivet And Grey Goose, wonderful, thank you

Just picked up x1 Captain Morgan Spiced Gold 1l, x1 Courvoisier VS Cognac 1l, x1 Remy Martin VSOP 70cl, and x4 Ferrero Rocher for £78 from the Hagley Road Birmingham Morrisons. Very happy.

Just a note to say that the Captain Morgan and Courvoisier were priced incorrectly in the aisles but when I asked at customer services the prices scanned correctly as per the website.

They were all out of Grey Goose though. Expecting another delivery today.

Quality. A litre of Tanqueray and 70cl of grey goose £38. Merry Christmas me

can not find this in leicester

Got some JD, but the store in Sidcup (London) only had 70cl Tanqueray for £16??!! :disappointed:

I bet you're fun at parties

i love vodka:)
i thing i buy it

yeah instore only

Is this in store only? Showing as full price online

Picked up a couple of Geese and a Jack from Leicester this morning. El Scorching... :smile:

bagged a couple of em. last few ones :smile:

looked like plenty of stock in the swansea morrisons, got 4x Tanqueray Gin 1L, barGIN!

I'm diabetic, so tend to steer away form flavoured spirits as I assume they must have sugar in them. According to Google there isn't but I find that a bit hard to believe... does anyone have any info?

One other suggestion for a nice vodka. Raspberry Stoli, serve with lemonade and it's such a nice drink.

Managed to get a bottle which using as a present. Goose is a good vodka, it's easy to drink and makes a good present.

If you wish to talk over hyped vodka....Ciroc is the winner in my eyes!!!

Sorry just tasted Grey Goose, should have know better, French vodka would not stand the test. £36 a bottle is laughable but £22 is at best ok. Black cow is better and cheaper and English! Reyka is from Iceland but cheaper! My opinion but I won't be buying GG again.

any views on jd 1l at £18?

Colindale store has lots of flavours .

Vodka & lemonade or coke

Party!!!

Party!!!

we are going out for a team lunch tomorrow and you can buy bottles of spirits for your table Grey Goose £125 and Tanqueray for a mere £100 - maybe sipping in the restaurant then sitting out side Morrisons later!

Fantastic deal procured 2 bottles of grey goose ( 1 orange, 1 pear) and a 1 litre bottle of JD for the lovely some of £62. Have some heat :smile:

None in MK central earlier, but I asked a manager who went out back & came back with one bottle. He said it was the last one but they may just say that everytime someone asks...
Personally I love Green Mark vodka which seems to be getting harder to get hold of.

Just been to Ferry Rd Edinburgh and got some no problem. Misinformed member of staff me thinks!

Heat added, nice find.

​oh dearI just bought Nike air max on a deal from here, genuinely concerned I could look like a chav. Is there counter balance attire or should I put them in the basement for gardening?

I just bought 2 normal 1 orange in cowdenbeath store :smiley: none on shelf asked and store assistant got me them from the warehouse

Just heard from the Edinburgh Granton store that the Grey Goose has been recalled from the deal... anybody still managing to get any?

Scorchio. Purchased two bottles of single malt and one JD for Xmas. Thanks

Absolutely nothing in the London, Walworth Road branch. Hopefully this saves someone a trip there

Who cares if it is just an over priced spirit. My wife likes it and she will be even happier thinking I spent £38 on her for Christmas, I won't tell her I got it for £22. :wink:

​thank you very much appreciated. I got a bottle of gg due to low price and see what the fuss is about. But Kirkland seems like a good deal

Right that's done it for me ima buy some. Got to taste more funner than the others if it's got four months extra wheat.

Free returns with amazon, unless you have drunk it already...
but then you could go buy another one to send back!

check end of aisle...had none on normal shelves but plenty of everything on end display...

Can't find the tanqueray 1L gin

No grey goose left in Bescot or Walsall. Said they should have more stock coming in though.

If you can sneak a bottle into a nightclub you can look like a balla at a fraction of the cost and win the hearts of the ladies :sunglasses:

Managed to get three ( normal, pear, citron) they will load shelf as and when. Petts wood - Orpington store

Any London Stratford takers?

They had original, pear, citren and orange in Newcastle Morrisons earlier

Fab price! Have some heat :smiley:

Always forget about halifax rewards, thanks!

extra 10% off for those with a Halifax debit/credit card. worth checking your cashback rewards offers on internet banking or the app...I've got one for Morrison's which will come in handy here! (Max £10 off so £100 spend)...

In-store only I'm afraid.

Grey Goose online prices unchanged :-/

Managed to get the Pear one

Mrs grabbed a bottle for me. Not tried it before and wouldn't pay £38 at all for it. £22 more reasonable. Wonder if it's better than my Russian vodka..?

a very long shot, but back in the day i was lucky enough to sample a bottle of state produced polish vodka during the communist period, is there anything even remotely similar out the now? all these 40% brands taste naff in comparison.

None in my local, guess I'll go first thing in the morning and see if there's been a delivery :smile:

got 2 pear this morning

Top Deal Rich!
Cheers bought 2 in Harrow. Only the lemon and blue available this morning.

The vodka I often see compared to Grey Goose and we haven't yet tried (but I've told my brother to pick up at Costco this year) is Kirkland Signature (French distilled, not US).

https://rebelbartender.com/2011/07/14/review-kirkland-signature-vodka-or-is-it-or-is-it-not-grey-goose/

"Are they the same thing?....The rumor’s foundation is certainly easy enough to see. Nearly identical on the nose and tongue (slightly vanilla-y, slightly sweet, very smooth) it’s not until the finish where the two really differentiate themselves. As previously noted, Goose just sort of fades off into a very mild burn with no real standout flavors. Kirkland, on the other hand, is far more distinctive: a slightly more noticeable burn and notes of charcoal and olive that might lend themselves well to a martini.

Impressive as the Kirkland vodka is, however, the best thing about it might be its price – assuming you already have the Costco membership, you can get a 1.75 L handle of it for $27, less than a single 750 mL fifth of Goose costs."

http://www.riverdavesplace.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-100134.html

Also, on a slight tangent, Kirkland Small Batch Premium Bourbon is made by Jim Beam if you believe this forum post from 2012: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?posts/13856777/



Edit: Here it is on the Costco UK site:

Kirkland Signature French Vodka 1.75L £39.99 (inc VAT)
£33.33 (exc VAT) http://www.costco.co.uk/view/p/kirkland-signature-french-vodka-175l-116515

Can see one tag on this Deal is "Price Glitch", being pedantic but it isn't!

​ if amazon can sell it for £26.49 including delivery then surely Morrisons can do it for £22 without making a loss

Thank you! Bagged a bottle here in Newport Rd Cardiff. Free complimentary glasses voucher code attached also. No P&P costs for those either. They had loads of flavoured GG but I got the last normal bottle on the shelf. Didn't ask if they had more, only needed one for a present.

Got a bottle of pear flavour. There was orange too.

Lidl's own brand French grain vodka at £16 is just as good

Plenty in stock at chingford.

Not sure if Barrack Street, Glasgow are only putting out 5 bottles of "ordinary" Grey Goose (as was on the shelf at 10.40am) - though I didn't look that hard. 3 left now if that's all they've got!

As others are saying, the Citron and other varieties are on offer as well. The lady who served me was asking what's so good about it. Just went by what my sister said - apparently it's "cleaner" tasting and (I think) you get less of a hangover with it (depending on mixer?).

I bought my sis Patron Agave Vodka a while back (Amazon offer) but she's not tried that yet.

1 box left at Johnstone and 1 bottle on the shelf. however guy was on The phone asking his friends if they wanted some so could be gkne

Brought a grey goose to try, my favourites are Black Cow and Reyka. Hope GG is better as at normal prices it's more expensive!!!

Absolutely there is a real difference between Smirnoff and other brands. Smirnoff is a lousy vodka, like you it gives me headaches in the morning.

I actually find the Waitrose own brand fairly smooth, probably on a par with Absolut.

I didn't rate Grey Goose that highly, although the Adnam range is really good, as is Chase, both of which I liked better than Grey Goose...

Great find got 4 bottles this morning but my Morrisons only had 7 in stock

It'll be worth asking if they have any in the back as there normally only allowed to put 2 out of each. Security reasons.

On offer in gorleston, Norfolk

sweet

not on offer in Cromer, Norfolk. :disappointed:

Been lots of blind taste tests and the results vary enormously .. But the premiums rarely get near the top . But people buying into the marketing will defend it to the death . Same as iPhones .. Style over substance , limited , screens way below other makers , but folks are prepared to fork out £1400 on a 2 year " deal" just to have the latest model. If you believe it , it must be so . Anyhow the amount of chavs knocking this stuff back in spoons , it must be good .

These taste tests are so subjective its incredible.

Everyone has a different palate, and that test seems to conclude that cheaper vodka is better, might say more about the tester then the vodka!

Jack Daniels 1L - £18 down from £30 - SOLD just take my money now!!

Vodka, lime and soda ... lots of ice... perfect.

Drunk enough of it you will get a hang over . You simply ain't drinking enough.

Not much goose in Winsford, but loads of jack and others. Needed 9 bottles for xmas presents for the men working on site. After the 4th visit in 15mins (as I was limited to 2 x 1l bottles) I was ask to stop by the manager saying limited to 2 per customer not 2 per transaction. I smiled and laughed I'd already got eight. There plenty of of Morrisons locally

You can stick to your Supermarket value range Vodka then. To those of us with taste buds capable of tasting the subtle complexities of superior Vodka we will enjoy this excellent Vodka at a reasonable price. Oh, and enjoy the hangover from the impurities left in the cheap vodka :smiley:. Personally I've never had a headache from drinking this all night but Smirnoff will give me a headache almost immediately.

Watched the film "Sully" last night where this drink was featured.

the flavoured ones are great. mega :smiley:

Good price but prefer Absolut

Compared with what?

This is nonsense mate. I've done the taste test with premium and house vodkas before and believe me, you can tell. I don't like Vodka and can tell the difference, so I'm not sure what that says about the guys palate.

If you don't believe me try it yourself when your next in a pub.

As for the pricing, well. That's up for debate. Is it good quality vodka, yes. Is it better than house vodkas, yes. Make your own mind up on that.

Heat to the OP, I was going to buy this the other day from Sainsburys for £33 but changed mind at last minute. Just bought it from Morrisons and used an old fuel voucher I had, got it for £17.

great find 4 more bottles added to the collection

Beluga is my favourite, so good.

Err, you do know that wikipedia can be updated by anyone?
Hence its not an impartial source of info for people, places, products etc that are marketing themselves...

Just bought 4 bottles, shelf still had the £38 price but at till it was £22!
Great find!

Our local store only got 6 bottles in for the whole day, don't envy the store manager

Is he talking himself into redundancy? Philistines don't need him and connoisseurs will make their own mind up.

Just got 6 bottles from Festival Park, Stoke on Trent. All flavors on offer and assistant said we could take as many as we wanted on the self checkout. Happy days!!!

about 8 bottles of each flavour goose in hull store

Do you live in France?

Thanks OP :smile:

Screw the vodka - Heat from me for the Tanqueray, brilliant price from a supermarket and the Jack, the Jack price puts it only £4 more than the 3 litre for £50 they did in Black Friday week.

HEATTTT am at morrisons now!!!

Wow great price :smile:

Plenty of stock in my store. Orange, lemon and orig

Got 2 bottles but had to get price check as price didn't change on shelves. There were around 10 bottles in my store

Although 2 per customer

Sorted bought three bottles, each flavour!!

Sorted bought three bottles

Vodka on its own all tastes rough. With a mixer I doubt you could really tell the difference between a standard brand e.g. Smirnoff and anything else that is significantly more expensive.

HEAT for the price but the flavour / brand of vodka is a personal taste ...it's got nothing to do with price ... the more expensive doesn't always mean better ! e.g. Some people prefer shop brand ketchup to the Heinz ..half the price too :-)

Sounds like a wild Goose chase to me

Is this IN STORE only?!

Why do we think it is Nationwide ? Any links to real adverts ? :stuck_out_tongue:

Have to admit, I recently tried grey goose for the first time and was hugely underwhelmed, let's just say it was far from special...

Got a bottle of Beluga which I'm opening around Christmas, hopefully that'll be a bit better...

Pity there are no Morrisons in N.I.

So you are telling me voddy in some student nightclub tastes the same as Grey Goose? Just wondering...

£22 not bad , I was lucky to get 1 for £18 at Tesco back in October

Oh if you so good in Alphabet I can give you some D

thank you. grey goose to celebrate the festive period!

I paid 13 euros for Tanqueray Gin 1L at Alicante airport, that is between £10/£11 depending on the exchange rate at the time, and surprisingly it is generally cheaper in the Spanish shops than the airport. Although £16 is a good price in the UK, it just goes to show how we are being ripped off with government duty on spirits if the normal price is £26.

Just hook it to my veins!

PC Whoateallthepies about to use reasonable force on PC Swanmolester. :smile:

You're more likely to have caught AIDS as a result of what the EU has been doing to the population of Europe for as long as it's existed. :smiley:

Best place for flavoured Smirnoff?

10 vodkas put to the test - Grey Goose 9th place
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/wine/5770943/10-vodkas-put-to-the-test.html
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/10-supermarket-vodka-good-posh-4879714 - "But my experience is that when poured neat into an unmarked glass, most can’t tell the difference between Grey Goose at £38 and top notch Green Mark at £13"
It's funny that people complaining about non aged single single malts at over £20 posted here but getting excited about Grey Goose vodka which is marketing scam :smiley:

Cheers

I went on holiday to the Caribbean early this year and you could buy 2 x 1 litre bottles of grey goose for a total of 45usd that's probably about worth it

You should have paid more for your keyboard, it appears to be missing the letters R and D.

Of course it's vastly overpriced .. Look at the price in USA . Made in France sent 4000 miles on a ship and still half the price ( yes I know .. Taxes) . But people are suckers for brand image , iPhones .. Dated , limited , but have the brand image . Glenn's vodka did win a blind taste test ( GG was about 8th out of 10) but we choose to ignore cos it feels good to buy into " the best". . Gives a certain street cred when folks come round .. GG (I have money) .. Glenn's (I am a scummer) .

Great price!

so many alcohol deals ..hot hot

And another one...!

Wake up, eveything is overprice even your wages.

link to last year deal?

I came to Grey Goose deal to catch a Flamedeer but no luck yet..but click for HOT on your deal.

This is the key point of this deal for me.

3 boxes of what?
Thanks :wink:

15 quid last year for JD 1 litre

P.s we only got 3 boxes delivered the other day so good luck getting one people

Incredible price - great find.

Had a mountain of Baileys at my local. Even on the Sunday.

this must be there "industry leading offer" a seen it in the promo book last week but they wouldn't tell me what it was apparently no one was allowed to know lol

Damn the JD 1L is cheap, cracking price

I disagree about the taste neat, as I said stick it in the freezer, Smirnoff etc needs to be drunk with a mixer it's too harsh, a decent vodka is better straight

Echo

This is HUKD
It's all about supply and demand - which usually determines the price and resultant HEAT and popularity of a HOT deal
A 70cl bottle of Grey Goose Vodka @ £22 - Nationally available in a supermarket - even beats the Amazon online price

It's just another really HUKD

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/wine/5770943/10-vodkas-put-to-the-test.html

Glens, the classy choice for the discerning vodka drinker...

Which £10 vodka beat grey goose on a taste test and won several awards? It was from either Aldi or Lidl......

I don't care what Wikipedia says. It is overpriced. It is no higher in quality than vodkas in the sub-£20 bracket such as Stoli, Absolut, Finlandia and New Amsterdam. The brand is a triumph of marketing over quality, successfully pitching the product to people who have more money than sense and an overwhelming desire to be fashionable at all costs.

Technically it is still in the EU market , wait after easter then we'll see

defo gotta get some GG.....Cheers op

This will be another Morrison's unicorn myth where they probably have only 2 per store. Happened with the 3 litre JD and the Baileys at my local Morrison's. Good deal if you find one

Stick to ye super tennents scruff :smile:

yeah they have pear,orange and lemon!

yeah they have pear,orange and lemon!

Good price but at the moment the Asda £13 own brand french vodka is easily as good.

Thank you, my favourite vodka

Wow, pleb-friendly 22quid for chav-tastic Grey Goose... Need to come a bit lower still for the price to match the quality though.

Agree .. Style over substance .. But people love a bit of marketing . Morrisons had a litre of New Amsterdam stuff for £16 , owned by Gallo and made with American wheat etc etc . But as you say in most blind taste tests the results are all over the place , cos unless vodka tastes proper manky(Smirnoff ) it's much of a muchness.

Google 'blind vodka taste test', grey goose come out on top in any....no

Some brands also make claims to be filtered multiple times or come from water sourced from glaciers. But none of this makes a difference, Isark added.

dont ruin it by adding lemonade or coke, stick it in the freezer then drink with a slice of lime, belvedere is better imo

I like both goose and the dere, for £22 you can't go wrong at all especially if you get a bottle as a present as person receiving will think you spent a lot more. Grey Goose is not usually on offer.

Grey Goose is grossly overpriced anyway. £22 is about 150% of the price it should be.

This will go red hot ....just wait til the vodka drinkers spot this one ..cheers!

Most stores open 7am!

Heat added!

Brexit gave me AIDS and lowered the value of my house...

Not sure I need to be buying anymore booze but.....I'm going to :-)
cheers op

It's reassuring to see that EU products (e.g. GG France) are still reducing in price even after Brexit :wink:

I'll drink to that!

Not sure I need to be buying anymore booze but.....I'm going to :-)
cheers op

Thanks OP...perfect timing...was going to pick up Tanqueray from ASDA today

wish it were belvedere and not grey goose :disappointed:

personally I find grey goose is all marketing and no substance. It makes a smooth drink but doesn't have any personality. In comparison, a belvedere vodka martini has a slightly oily mouthfeel and nutty flavour to it.

Of course I'm no vodka connoisseur, just a slightly obsessive collector of spirits - I'm sure there are much better lesser known brands in Russia and Poland.

p.s. it is an amazing price and I will probably buy some anyway

Ridiculous price for GG, the Amazon BF price was good but Morrisons are bound to be making a loss on this.
Shame there's no Morrison's in NI... :disappointed:

How do you know this? Can't find anything promoting

To the shop then! :smiley:

Can't beat a good goose at Christmas :stuck_out_tongue: hot

Thanks op
Baileys - Corona and now this! :wink:

It's a GREY Goose chase tomorrow - before the WILD crowd (oos) try and get in! :man:

fantastic price! cheers OP

Great price, shame there's no Morrisons near me

Paid 26.49 on amazon and thought that was a good price. This is excellent deal

Love a bit of vodka!

£22 for goose, never seen so cheap :smile:

Heat added for the vodka alone! JD at £18 is a steal too!

thank u :-)

Heat added, thanks.... Did you notice if they have the pear grey goose?.. cant see it online .x
