You ever heard of potato vodka?
That's my point though, all the nonsense around alcohol is marketing, it's all complete bullshit. You can make vodka out of anything, but you can't call it vodka for this or that reason, champagne must come from the champagne region of France, etc. It's all nonsense. Spirits taste like whatever you do to them during or after distillation, and nothing like what they're made of initially. Grape wine is not superior to other wine, it's just more profitable. All alcohol marketing is about lifestyle depictions, never about what youre buying, because alcohol exists to get you fucked up and that's not an effective differentiator for your product. You can make it taste different, less harsh, more bite, sweeter, like wood esters, like honey, whatever, but anyone can copy you. But what they can't copy is your brand, so the brand must be sold instead of the product.
