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<br /><br />teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, California, to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2-5 range.<br /> <br /><br />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.<br /><br /> <br /><br />She said: "The right name is important." So, here we go: The top 12<br /><br />suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:<br /><br />13. Chateau Traileur Parc<br /><br />12. White Trashfindel<br /><br />11. Big Red Gulp<br /><br />10. Grape Expectations<br /><br />9. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays"<br /><br />8. NASCARbernet<br /><br />7. Chef Boyardeaux<br /><br />6. Peanut Noir<br /><br />5. Chateau des Moines<br /><br />4. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!<br /><br />3. World Championship Riesling<br /><br />2. Sams Shiraz<br /><br />And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine ...<br /><br /> 1. Nasti Spumante<br /><br /> <br /><br />The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with both white<br /><br />Meat (Possum) and red meat (squirrel).
