Rumor has it that Wal*Mart will soon have it's own discount
brand of wine in the $2.50 per 4 liter jug range. Those of
you in search of 4 Liter primary fermenters will be disappointed
to learn that the jugs are made from ultra-thin recycled plastics.

While the bottles will be clearly labeled with a Drink-By date,
the Marketing Gang (a.k.a. Sam's Shills) is searching for names
implying a superior quality to high school drop outs.

So, here are my top choices for great names:

# Name
--- --------------------------
5 Merde de la champagne

4 Chien fou du Bordeaux

3. Putain de Bourgogne

2. Nasti Spumante

1. Chateau Trailer Park

Sheesh...who cares, and why expend the energy bashing Wal-Mart over their
stores selling cheap wine? If it's drinkable for the price, they'll sell
some of it to a limited audience. BFHD. I long ago gave up criticizing
other people for their taste in what I think are lousy beers...to each his
own. They won't be the first store-brand alcohol...ever been to a
Schwegmann's supermarket in New Orleans and got a Schwegmann's Beer? Now
there was a special product! Wal-Mart can't sell wine here (in Maryland)
anyway since only liquor stores can sell wine.

yeah someone sent me this 3 years ago:

BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) - Some Walmart 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, Calif., to produce the spirits at an affordable price;
in the $6-8 range.

While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle of
Walmart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market
for inexpensive wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing
at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. She said:
"The right name is important."

So, with that in mind, here are the top suggested names for Walmart
Wine:

13. Hardly Burgundy
12. Chateau Traileur Doublewide
11. White Trashfindel
10. Big Red Gulp
9. Grape Expectations
8. Domaine Walmart "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 Wriesling
And the number 1 name for Walmart Wine...
1. Nasti Spumante
