this is for all you win lovers:
Wal-Mart announced that, sometime in 2011, it will begin offering customers a new discount item - Wal-Mart’s own brand of wine.
The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery of California to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2 - $5 range.
Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of Wal-Mart brand into their shopping carts, but "there is a market for inexpensive wine," said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at the University of Arkansas. "But the right name is important."
Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Wal-Mart wine brand. Great Value helps you Save More and Live Better!
The top surveyed names in order of popularity were:
10. Chateau Traileur Parc
09. White Trashfindel
08. Big Red Gulp
07. World Championship Riesling
06. NASCARbernet
05. Chef Boyardeaux
04. Peanut Noir
03. I Can't Believe it's not Vinegar
02. Grape Expectations
01. Nasti Spumante
The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or dark meat (Squirrel.) Watch for it this year.
