Wal-Mart Wines... just got from my Mom...
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, California, to produce the spirits at an
affordable price, in the $2-5 range. Thought you would
like to be first in line to buy some!

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

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

2. even cheap wine has its uses:
for cooking where it's heated, for making your own wine coolers or sangria...

My favorite names though are Chef Boyardeaux, I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!, and Nasti Spumante. Did you make those up yourself? Too funny!
