Mountain Witch Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Wal-Mart announced that sometime in 2011 it will begin offering customers a new discount item: Walmart’s own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery of California to produce the wines at affordable prices in the $2. to $5. range. Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of the Walmart brand into their shopping carts but 'There is a market for inexpensive wine', said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at University of Arkansas , Bentonville. 'However, branding will be very important.' Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Walmart wine brands and varieties. The top surveyed names in order of popularity were: 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 1. Nasti Spumante The beauty of Walmart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel). P.S. Don't bother writing back to tell me that this is a hoax. I know possum is not white meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o_O Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 OMG M.Witch, I've often wondered when I did flights out of Fayetteville, one of Walmarts Prime Headquarters, why the caterers would over load my aircraft with this !!!!! Hysterical post, my cheeks hurt !:thankyou: Regards,Gypsy I unfortunately know that area and much about what resides there:/ And given the price range, it's a good thing as you'd have to be all kinds of drunk to eat possum, because those things are nasty. Squirrel is pretty good though^_^ The only thing that could make this post better is a pronunciation guide of how the customers say the names.

Mountain Witch Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 The only thing that could make this post better is a pronunciation guide of how the customers say the names. Which dialect? Northern Appalachian, Southern Appalachian, coastal Carolinas ...? They're all hilarious in their own right. PS Have you seen/read the book "How to Speak Southern"? It's pretty good.
