Chopin vs Grey Goose: What’s the Difference?

Updated March 2026.

These are two 40%-class vodkas from different countries and different agricultural bases. Grey Goose’s US site footer prints “Vodka and flavored vodkas – 40% alc./vol.” Chopin’s official potato page did not print an ABV; US grocery lots typically read 40%, read the neck. A 1.5-ounce pour at 40% is one NIAAA drink. This is not a 2021 winner and not a 2026 MSRP list.

Chopin’s core line is Polish potato, rye, or wheat. Grey Goose is a French wheat vodka on the brand story. Related: Grey Goose, vodka types, Ketel One vs Tito’s.

Same legal floor, different farm

US ABV used here 40% official footer Typically 40%
1.5 oz drinks 1.00 1.00 if 40%
Base (brand story) French wheat Polish potato
TTB vodka floor 40% 40%

A 750 mL 40% bottle is about 17 drinks. Four pours are four drinks. Flavored Grey Goose SKUs at 30% are a different class. Pour math: vodka drinks.
