Wal Mart announced that sometime in 2009, it will begin offering customers
a new discount item ... Wal-Mart's own brand of wine.

The world's largest retail chain is rumored to be teaming up with Ernest &
Julio Gallo Winery of California to produce the spirits at an affordable
price -- in the $2 to $5 range.

Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of the Wal-Mart brand
into their shopping carts, but "There is a market for inexpensive wine,"
said Kathy Micken, Professor of Marketing at University of Arkansas ,
Bentonville. "However, branding will be very important."

Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for
the Wal-Mart wine brand.

The top surveyed names in order of popularity were:

- Chateau Traileur Parc

- White Trashfindel

- Big Red Gulp

- World Championship Riesling

- NASCARbernet

- Chef Boyardeaux

- Peanut Noir

- I Can't Believe it's not Vinegar

- Grape Expectations

- Nasti Spumante

The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either white meat
(Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).









Yes, it is a joke. Of course we all know possum
is not a white meat!
 
Don't forget the Wal-Mart Shampagne:

Bad thing is we had a Wal-Mart wine thread not too long ago. I think I started it.

Harper Hill's Oildale Winery, (folks in Bakersfield get the reference) used to market Redneck Red, and White Trash White along with Tiny Bubbles champagne. They branched out into beer with such hits as Dos Okies and also sold snacks under the brand My Husband's Nuts.

I think they are out of business now, but these were real wines.
