Default Vodka pasta sauce

My wife picked up a jar at a bazaar. It was ok, IMO, and since my
son and wife thought is was even better than 'OK' - I thought I'd make
my sauce that way sometime in the future.

I'm curious what the vodka adds to it. It doesn't sweeten it- the
alcohol is long gone- water would 'loosen it up'.

I don't know if this is a local brand, but she bought Grandpa Pete's.
It has vodka listed before olive oil on the ingredient list, so it
seems like there must be more than just a splash so they can use the
term on the label.

I think the cream added a lot more to it than the Vodka. Is this
just the fad of the year- or is vodka [and/or cream] and old thing
that I just never ran across before? Is it Italian?

[Have to repeat the bumper sticker I saw today;
AMERICA such a nice Italian name]
