BENTONVILLE, ARK -- 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 $2-5 range.

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 cheap wine,
said Mr.Tom Mahon, Super Salesman of the Year, He said: "You gotta
unnerstan,The right name is important."

So, here we go...

The top 12 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:

12. Chateau Traileur Parc

11. White Trashfindel

7. NASCARbernet

6. Chef Boyardeaux

5. Peanut Noir

4. Chateau des Moines

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

2. World Championship Riesling

And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine is...

1. Nasti Spumante

3. We had a rash of incidents
around the 'Burgh where people were stealing and drinking vanilla extract. This could potentially be a target demographic.

That is hilarious. As I live in one of the more redneck-populated parts of Wisconsin, that gave me a much needed guffaw.

6. Wal-Mart wine: perfectly suited for regurgitation.
It really cleans out the sloo on both ends.

10. There used to be a BC wine called "Rotting Grape"--
it was a kind of Gen-Xy responst to wine pretension. Actually wasn't bad!

I can see that going down at WalMart, eexcept it'd be "Rottin' Grape"

13. No, no, you don't understand, wine must have a French name to be good
So, all you Francophones, how exactly does one say "paint thinner" in French?
