Wal-Mart announced that, on January 1, 2007, it will begin offering customers a new discount item - WALMART's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery of California to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2- $5 range.

Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of WalMart brand into their shopping carts, but "there is a market for inexpensive wine," said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at University of Arkansas, Bentonville. She said: "But the right name is important."

Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Wal Mart wine brand. The top surveyed names in order of popularity were:

10. Chateau Traileur Parc
9. White Trashfindel
8. Big Red Gulp
7. World Championship Riesling
6. NASCARbernet
5. Chef Boyardeaux
4. Peanut Noir
3. I Can't Believe it's not Vinegar
2. Grape Expectations
1. Nasti Spumante

The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).








Yummy, some quality stuff to go wit BBQ Possum. :barf:


 
I'm sure my mother in law will love it!

She's funny, she gets all pretentious about drinking wine instead of beer, but she drinks such crap most of the time.
 
Ahhh...and you all know what is said about selecting the right glass to enhance qualities of the individual wine... ;)

I really am starting to get kind of grossed out now. Of course, it doesn't help when I'm not overly fond of the taste of alcohol...
