Tito’s vs. Grey Goose | Vodka Comparison

Two of the most stocked vodkas in the US, side by side, on the things that are actually different: where they are made, what they are made from, and how.

Not on the list: which one tastes better, or which one is smoother. Saucey sells both, so ranking them would be marketing rather than information.

Last verified September 2026 against both producers’ published material.

Both launched in 1997, which is the coincidence people usually miss. They are the same age and they took opposite positioning routes from the same starting line.

The one difference that is not marketing

Base grain. Tito’s is distilled from corn, Grey Goose from wheat. Everything else you will read about either bottle is production detail described by the producer and not independently checkable.

On gluten, since it is the question people actually have: distillation removes gluten protein, so most authorities treat all distilled spirits as gluten-free regardless of base grain. Some people with coeliac disease avoid grain-derived spirits anyway. If that is you, the corn base is the relevant fact and your doctor is the relevant source, not us.

On price

Grey Goose typically carries the higher shelf price of the two. The size of the gap varies by state and by bottle size, and state excise tax moves it more than the brands do.

We do not print figures here, because prices on both bottles differ enough between markets that any single number is wrong somewhere the day it is written. Check both at your own address and compare the totals you actually see.

If you want the critic view rather than ours, the Grey Goose review aggregates published scores.
