10 Most Expensive Vodka in the world revealed:

Vodka is a distilled alcoholic beverage that is one of the most popular spirits ordered in bars and seen served at parties. It originates from Russia and was known to have first surfaced in the 9th century, however, there are signs that it could have been even earlier than that. Despite its early beginnings, the beverage did not make its way to the U.S. until after World War II, and since its entry into the U.S., its popularity has only grown. It is known for its clear, odourless, and flavourless body, and can be mixed with just about any beverage. One of the most popular drinks made with Vodka, is the Vodka tonic. Others include the Cosmopolitan and the Screwdriver. Vodka is the Slavic word for “water,” pronounced, “woda,” and it is made by distilling any of the cereal grains, wheat, barley, or rye, but the primary grain used as its base is corn. You can buy Vodka in several price ranges, from very reasonable, to extremely expensive.

10. Magnum Grey Goose Vodka – $815.00

Made by the self-made billionaire, Sidney Frank, Grey Goose is one of the most popular Vodkas among the rich and famous. It’s made from French wheat and distilled in a five-step process that involves artesian spring water, water that is filtered through Champagne limestone located in the Gensac Springs, which aids in its crystal clear appearance and smooth taste and quality. The water is untouched by human hands or pollutants. Each bottle is beautifully decorated with wintry pictures of grey geese and they sell for $815.00 a bottle, making them one of the most expensive Vodkas on the market today.

9. Absolut Vodka – $1000.00

The very successful businessman, Lars Olsson Smith, who controlled about one-third of all the Vodka in Sweden, even while he was so young and just learning to shave, he became the “The King of Vodka” for half of the 19th century. Absolut Vodka was a new kind of Vodka that he developed in 1879, and by 1979, it began being exported and immediately soared to the success that it is known for today. A battle of the packaging went on for the Vodka for years, until an idea hit him after seeing a medicine bottle in a store window, and associating the fact that Vodka was used in medicine, claiming that it cured a  number of ailments, Smith wanted to bottle his brand the same way. Furthermore, he did not want to stick a bulky label on it to hide the crystal-clear liquid, thus, we have the Absolut bottle that we know well today. Bottles sell for $1000.00 a piece, which puts this Vodka as the ninth most expensive on our list.
