Show Notes

Whether you drink wine or not, you might have heard or seen this Australian wine with the label Yellowtail on the bottle. It’s almost everywhere you shop for libations, groceries, and more. But do you know how this vino from Oz flooded the wine markets? Listen to the #InVinoFab episode no. 17 to learn more about the yellowTALE. It’s a story about how a winery from down under expanded their brand worldwide and increased mass production of these animal-labeled bottles. If you build it and you brand it... I guess “they” come.” Just because it’s popular, it may not have anything to do with the actual taste of the wine. We pause to question wine quality, and how this could potentially transfer to the work we do with online learning and scaling instruction in higher education. Take a listen to this tale and share your thoughts and/or experiences with us.
