BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) - 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 $6-8 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 inexpensive wine," said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island. She said, "The right name is very important."
So, with that in mind, here are the top 12 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:
** Chateau Traileur Doublewide
** White Trashfindel
** Big Red Gulp
** Grape Expectations
** Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays"
** NASCARbernet
** Chef Boyardeaux
** Peanut Noir
** Chateau des Moines
** I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
** World Championship Wriesling
And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine...
** Nasti Spumante
