by Hazel Macrae-Giant Australian wine brand Yellow Tail has has entered into a trademark battle with a US wine
Family-owned Casella Wines, which produces Yellow Tail, has launched legal action to stop The Wine Group from using a kangaroo on the label of its brand ‘Little Roo‘.
Casella Wines argues that American consumers will not be able to distinguish the difference between the two marsupial icons, which are both ‘oriented the same direction’ on the label.
‘It’s hard enough for consumers to make choices, let alone to be confused when they go into a store with a particular wine in mind,’ says John Casella, managing director of Casella Wine.’
The Wine Group disagrees, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, and ‘denies that the Australian wallaby is interchangeably referred to as a kangaroo’.

By ERIC ASIMOV – I’M not one to go overboard in describing the myriad aromas and flavors in a glass of wine. In fact, most of the gaudy descriptions found in tasting notes will not help a whit to understand the character of a bottle of wine or to anticipate the experience of drinking it.
