Wal-Mart Wine ? (O.T.)

I'm forwarding this, FWIW. Enjoy,

Begin Quote:

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, 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 12 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:

  1. Chateau Traileur Parc
  2. White Trashfindel
  3. Big Red Gulp
  4. Grape Expectations
  5. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays"
  6. NASCARbernet
  7. Chef Boyardeaux
  8. Peanut Noir
  9. Chateau des Moines
  10. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
  11. World Championship Riesling

And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine ..

  1. Nasti Spumante

Actually my entry was "Sam's Shiraz". The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with white meat (Possum) and red meat (squirrel).

Yeek. Two things:

Gallo will regret this in about 4-5 years given Wal Mart's history of putting the screws on it's suppliers.

It makes Two Buck Chuck sound downright extravagant.

If I'm not mistaken, E & J also make Thunderbird - though I don't think you'll find it on their website. And,...Sorry to Droopy or others for old news.

Have a great weekend!

"What's the word? Thunderbird.

How's it sold? Good and cold.

What's the jive? 'Bird's alive.

What's the price? Thirty twice."

Hoss, It's even sadder than than you may recall: $0.60 per pint. Sadder still is that I remember the jingle. Of course, I never actually, ahem, _tasted_ the stuff.
