Walmart Wine

Wal-Mart announced on March 4th, 2008, that 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 $1- $3 price range.

Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw 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

University of Arkansas, Bentonville.

She said: "But the right name is 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:

10. Chateau Traileur Parc

9. White Trashfindel

8. Big Red Gulp

7. World Championship Riesling

6. NASCARbernet

5. Chef Boyardeaux

4. Peanut Noir

3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!

2. Grape Expectations

1. Nasti Spumante

The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either

white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).
