Speaking of Walmart....

This is from my husbands Safeway forum. I thought it was a good chuckle.

Subject: Walmart is going to start selling wine.

Some WalMart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount item: WalMart's own brand of wine.

The world's largest retail chain is teeming up with E&J Gallo Winery of Modesto, CA to produce the spirits at affordable prices in the $2-5 range.

While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to throw a bottle a WalMart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for cheap wine, said Kathy Micken, Professor of Marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I.

She said: "The right name is important."
So, here we go: The top 12 suggested names for WalMart Wine:

12. Big Red Gulp
11. White Trashfindel
10. Chateau Traileur Parc
9. Grape Expectations
8. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays"
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 #1 name for Wal-Mart Wine...
1. Nasti Spumante!!!

Note: The beauty of WalMart wine is it can be served with white meat (Possum) and red meat (Squirrel).

I buy E J Gallo wines for cooking. Also use them in Sangrias in the summer and Mulled Wine in the winter.

The usual name for a $2.00 bottle of booze is Ripple. Remember when Fred Sanford used to put a dash of carbonated water in it and call it Champipple?
