Absolut is still the most popular vodka brand in the U.S., selling 4.5 million cases annually, but it stopped growing at about the time Grey Goose and its peers took flight. Spirits-industry analysts say that's why privately owned Bacardi recently bought Grey Goose for $2 billion: it wanted to have a hit superpremium vodka in its stable before floating an initial public offering...
