Grey Goose was the brainchild of American Billionaire Sidney Frank who, in 1997, set out to create a high quality brand of Vodka for the American market. He chose France to produce it from French wheat grown in and around Picardy to the north of Paris, which was then blended with spring water in the cognac region of France. In 2004 he sold the brand to Bacardi for a record sum, in excess of $2 billion.
