Yellowtail prices around the world

I am doing an unscientific survey of Yellowtail prices around the world. Will appreciate your posting the total out of pocket cost (including sales taxes, VATs, etc.) of a 750 ml Yellowtail bottle--the plain stuff, *not* the Reserve line.



Here in Miami, Florida, my local Publix supermarket sells it (as far I have seen, all varieties cost the same) for US$7.99 plus a tax of 7%, $0.56, for a total of $8.55.



So, wondering how much you pay for the little kangaroo (or is it some other marsupial) where you live.



Thanks.

As far as "around the world", I'm pretty sure that Yellowtail is an export label intended for North American and UK market. So sample size is likely to be very small elsewhere.

In NY it runs $6-7 mostly. Sales tax varies between 7.x and 8.5 depending on jurisdiction. Say $6.50 is typical.

I assume reserve means they used more oak chips?

Do you have to pay any taxes in addition to that?

At the PA Wine and Spirits Shoppes, several of the Yellowtail regulars are on sale $6.99; the others are $7.99. The Reserve line is $12.99. Sales tax is 6% here.

You are not missing much. I remember a distinctive flatness, totally lacking in acidity, and real simple oak flavour.

Thanks for the warning, Mike T. I was happy enough with Alice White and Lindemans offerings.
