Walmart to market its own wine

[Kathy in Cambridge]

This is an email from my auntie. I thought it was pretty funny.


Some Wal*Mart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount
item: Walmart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, California, to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2-5 range. While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of Wal*Mart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for cheap wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. She said: "The right name is important."
So, here we go:The top 13 suggested names for Wal*Mart Wine:

13. Chateau du Traileur Parc
12. White Trashfindel
11. Big Red Gulp
10. Grape Expectations
9. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays"
8.. NASCARbernet
7. Chef Boyardeaux
6. Peanut Noir
5. Chateau des Moines
4. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
3. World Championship Riesling
2. Sams Shiraz
And the number 1 name for Wal*Mart Wine ...
1. Nasti Spumante!!!
The beauty of Wal*Mart wine is that it can be served with both white meat (Possum) and red meat (squirrel). Make sure to vote on your favorite name at a Wal*Mart near you!
