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
$6-8 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 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 12 suggested names
for Wal-Mart Wine:
12. Chateau Traileur Doublewide
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 Wriesling
And the #1 name for Wal-Mart Wine...
1. Nasti Spumante
