Amen brother, no yellow tail for me either.

Long live our ranchers and farmers - and not the corporate mopes either. The family ranches and farms, the backbone of these United States!

I wonder if cows like wine?

Never liked the stuff. Smelled like old sneakers, and some stale fruit.

Plenty of other good wines for that price range, that don't do stupid sh**.

I like to cook with wine,...sometimes I even put some in the food,... :P My cows like wine, they marinate nicely with some pepper and garlic. ;D

Amen! I am generally not a boycott person because I don't think they work. BUT! When there are lots of alternatives and not a dimes worth of difference between them except marketing? Then negative branding through a boycott can work. Particularly in this case. Yellow Tail is a medium ok $10 bottle of wine. So are a hundred others. How much of their business comes from resteraunts? How many chefs want to have beef taken off their menu's? This one could work.

That was my question.   If they camera kept rolling for another 5 minutes what would the cows do.


Right now, if Starbucks made wine, I'd buy it all from them even if it tasted like coffee.

No more Yellow Tail for me (besides, I'm married to a "round-eye" who frowns on that kind of behavior) ::)

AND, I'm gonna buy me a couple of nice steaks for tonight's din-din.   ;D

This is an old story, and, I believe that when it first hit the internet, the backlash was enough for them to cancel their plan.

Wine still isn't worth cooking with. (Even pouring it ON the food).... ::)
