Wally Wine
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.
ÂÂ
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."
ÂÂ
So, with that in mind, here are the top 12 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:
ÂÂ
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
ÂÂ
And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine...
ÂÂ
1. Nasti Spumante

Just sayin'. I know how hard it is to find attributions for this forwarded stuff. I'm a contributor to topfive so it's easy for me to recognize our stuff.

Brian, I imagine that's precisely why Jim attributed the list to Top Five and provided a link to it.

Just to clarify - I didn't have the attribution until Brian commented. I didn't even know about Top Five until he posted. (It is a very neat site, by the way.)
Sorry for the confusion - my crossing out my cousin and adding in Top Five as the source isn't really clear for folks coming in now.

Wow.
When people copy my comments I don't get assed off if I don't get the credit for it.
(sorry for posting on an older thread!)
