They Will (hopefully) Sell No Wine…
February 13, 2006
So, I’m over reading the entries at The Mommy Blog when I come across this little entry. Here it is in it’s entirety, but I implore you to pop over and check out her site. It’s become another of my daily reads!
Thanks, Mindy!
Soon, Wal-Mart customers 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 Robert Mondavi Winery of California, to produce the spirits at an
affordable price, in the $2 – $5 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 cheap wine”, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing. She said: “The right name is important.”
So, here we go:
Top 10 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:
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
And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine:
1. Nasti Spumante
The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with white meat (Possum) or red meat (squirrel).

Very interesting article. Couldn’t be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old chum. He constantly kept talking about this. I will forward this post to him. Pretty sure he will have a good chuckle. Thanks for sharing!
