At the Grove Liquor Store in Montclair, N.J., the manager Anthony Singh said bottles of Grey Goose, which sell for $36.99, are gathering dust. The big sellers, he said, are Majorska and Laird’s. They sell for $9.49 and $7.99 a bottle, compared with $10.99 for Popov.
“We ran out of Majorska last week,” Mr. Singh said. “It’s selling like crazy.”
