Wal-Mart Wine!

WINE AT WAL-MART

   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-$3 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

Yes, I'm almost certain that this is a joke.
B-)

I could be wrong however. :)

I am a successfully recovering alcoholic!

It's the Champaign of wines.

There's a major overproduction in wine for the past few years, and Trader Joe's has had their "Two-Buck Chuck" on the shelves after making the same deal with a "major winery."

I suspect Wal-Mart just started this because they needed a much larger production gurantee. Trader Joe only has 130 small stores.

on edit-- the stuff's not bad. Not great, but not bad.

It's great for get-togethers and parties, and it's sure been helpful for non-profits I work for when we have to buy lots of wine for fund-raisers.

We had a $3 Pinot Grigio from Traders that was fabulous. I have had $5 wines from there that are better than the $25 California wines from the snooty wine store.

This is too funny....

Thanks for the laugh. THis is fantastic.

Is it for real?

Thanks for the good memory, MaineDem!

For the Velvet Jones romantic.

Busthead, by any other name.

Glad I'm on mineral water these days! :toast:

What is the "Gallo Law"? Special, hand-crafted law done up several years ago so Gallo family could avoid paying estate taxes when Ernie died! Allowed Gallo to retain their 80% market share of American wines, rather than selling the assets and opening up the playing field! Boycott Gallo wines!

walmart for extra special nights.

It is the drink of God's

too bad it's a joke. but hey, it's not a real suprise, three guesses who holds the following titles:

1: number one seller of wine (dollar sales)
2: number one seller of Bordeaux Premier Crus (dollar sales)
3: number one seller of Dom Perignon (dollar sales and volume)

all of the above are located in the united states.

fine bottle of 1982 Chateau Petrus will be drunk in honor of the winner...

I live in a mobile home park. I own my mobile home free and clear, so I do not have any high house payments, only a lot payment of $289 per month. I am not what you would call trailer trash. I have a very good job and probably make more money than you.

and it is actually a step up from our crappy $500 a month one-room apartment. We will have more room and only pay $360 per month for EVERYTHING-lot rent, electricity, water, and trash. The bills are a set amount, so it is the same every month. Our trailer court is full of mostly elderly people and other people from all walks of life. It has strict rules about having things on your yard and trailer upkeep. It seems like a really nice place to live.

Some years back, Kmart was test marketing "Kmardo", their signature wine. I remember hearing about it on the news some time ago, but I never saw it.

I will take a bottle of the Whitetrash Peanut Noir 2004 (They make it in advance).

Do you drink it while it is still in the paper bag?
