Re: Urban Myth? Kirkland Vodka is Grey Goose?
I just went to COSTCO this past weekend and we did not need a COSTCO membership ( in florida) to purchase alcohol. The liquor store is actually completely seperated from the rest of the store and the clerk told us that there's a law prohibiting them to require a membership in order to purchase alcohol, just ID.
I thought the vodka was great. I've drank a lot of cheap Vodka's throughout college and have become really sensitive to the taste. I loaded my drinks up and couldn't hardly taste a thing. Well worth the price. It compares well to Grey Goose if it isn't the same. I didn't notice a difference especially because it's so smooth. But, I wouldn't doubt it is grey goose because there's no costco or walgreens or walmart that are personally going into every business (medicine, meats, alcohol) for themselves to compete as a name brand, yet we can buy their generic products that have their name on it. That's because they don't get into those businesses. They are resellers and typically they can sign contracts with other company's (Advil, Sara Lee, Grey Goose, etc) to have them package and label their products under their name and the parent company gets a commission off their sales. But they sell at a much lower price because the parent company sells to them at a large discount typically half the retail price for being a large distributor and is ultimately making money on it as well.
The Kirkland Vodka is great. Super cheap to split between multiple people and more than enough to last a small group an entire night. But tastes good.
