Huck Finn, a truly perceptive gentleman from the midwest, sent this one on Wal-Mart wine...
Wal-Mart announced that it will begin offering customers a new discount item... Wal-Mart's
own brand of wine.
The world's largest retail chain is rumored to be teaming up with the Ernest & Julio Gallo
Winery of California to produce the spirits at an affordable price -- in the $2 to $5 range.
While wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of the Wal-Mart brand into their
shopping carts...
"There is a market for inexpensive wine." said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at the
University of Arkansas, Bentonville. "However, branding will be very 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:
1. Chateau du Traileur Parc
2. White Trashfindel
3. Big Red Gulp
4. World Championship Riesling
5. NASCARbernet
6. Chef Boyardeaux
7. Peanut Noir
8. Ah Kain't Believe it's not Vinegar
9. Grape Expectations
10. 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 contacting me that this is a hoax. I know possum is not a white meat.
