Wal-Mart Wine
BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) -- Some Wal-Mart customers soon will be able
to sample a new discount item -- Wal-Mart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, Calif., 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 12 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine: 12. Chateau Traileur Parc 11. White Trashfindel 10. Big Red Gulp 9. Grape Expectations 8. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays" 7. NASCARbernet 6. Chef Boyardeaux 5. Peanut Noir 4. Chateau des Moines 3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar! 2. World Championship Riesling And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine ... 1. Nasti Spumante And who says they don't know wine in Arkansas?

Walmart is a great place to go to save a few bucks.....and deal with rampant children screaming their heads off...and stand in an express checkout line for 45 minutes...and watch someone pull out five hundred dollars in cash to pay for cigarettes and then use food stamps for some canned peas. So on and so forth. Me, I'd rather pay a little more and go to Fred Meyer or Costco and not ususally have to deal with these things.
