I was in Trader Joes and noticed a couple interesting wines, from packaging point of view.
Yellow Tail and the Little Penguin.
I have heard of both of them before, but never tried either. They're very affordable, but are they worth drinking?

Yellow Tail, yes, Little Penguin, no.

The Yellow Tail brand was established for the explicit purpose of disposing of surplus Australian wine in America. As Bern states, considering all the above, it isn't as bad as some other surplus reducing efforts such as Two Buck Chuck. Now YT has come out with a line of "Reserve" wines at the $10-$12 price point that are quite good.

Yeah, what he said! The reserves are some of the best Aussie wines I have ever tasted.
