What do you pay for 25kg of sugar out of interest.

Not necessarily. Vodka has been traditionally made from the lowest cost available sugar source be it cereal grain, corn, barley beet or even whey (milk by-product). Much of the wheat vodka comes from the places where sugar crops as we know it are not readily produced as they are in our neck of the woods whereas wheat is.
The key is to get a flavour / character into the end product.
If sugar is cheapest one can do this with say a wheat product ( ie TFFV) without going through the malting process for grains / cereal.
