Tom Adams Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Wal-mart announced that sometime in 2011 it will begin offering customers a new discount item...Walmart'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 the 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 brands and varieties. 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 Walmart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel). P.S. Don't bother writing back to tell me that this is a hoax. I know possum is not white meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 They want to do that............all they need do is repackage "Mogen David 20/20.................aka Mad Dog 20/20............... or they could use Boones Farm wine, and label it as "Bentonville's Finest".....................
