New Wine - The Firearms Forum

Wal-Mart announced that, sometime in 2007, 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 Univ. of Arkansas, Bentonville. '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).

P.S. Don't bother writing me back that this is a hoax. I know possum is not
a white meat: eek:

I didn't know Squirrel was a red meat!

Reminds me of the 2 Grizzlies talking after dinner... The one says " I always had trouble remembering that's it's White wine w/ fisherman & Red wine w/ Hunters"
