Wine at Walmart!

[Wild Wild Qwest]

I realize many of you frequent Wally World, so I decided to pass this on.

Wal-Mart recently announced that they will soon be offering customers 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 California to produce the spirits at an affordable $2-5 price 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. "But the right name is important."

Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Wal-Mart brand.

The top surveyed names in order of popularity are:

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 either
white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).

I wonder if they'll sell it in six pack cans?  Or maybe even gallon plastic jugs!

my guess is, they would sell this in those waxpaper containers with the straw attached.. and sell them for $5 for a 12 pack.. placing a desplay near the hunting and fishing isle..

A 55 gal. drum of wine would probably be the cheapest way to buy....Maybe they could put wheels and a tongue on the drum and it could be towed behind your popup.......

Tempting, boys.  
But, I think I'll stick with Minnesota-born Target!!  
The wine there can't be much worse .... can it?

You forgot:

Chateau du Car'bor....    (aka wine-in-a-box)

and I just (couldn't resist) bought a soft sided cooler specifically for these boxes...has a hole at the side for the "spout"

these boxes are great for travel....fit inside luggage and aren't breakable.

Will this cause a Ripple effect in the wine world?  What's next?  Five gallon jugs of Costco Chardonney?
