For all you Wal-Mart Lovers

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 cheap wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I., "There is wine in a box that people are willing to buy," she said. "The right name is important."

The top 15 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:

15. Box O' Grapes

14. Chateau Traileur Doublewide

13. White Trashfindel

12. Big Red Gulp

11. Grape Expectations

10. Domaine Wal-Mart "Merde du Pays"

9. NASCAbernet

8. Chef Boyardeaux

7. Peanut Noir

6. Blue Light Special Nun

5. Chateau des Moines

4. Martha Stewart's Sour Grapes

3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Roger Williams University, how credible is that! This is one of those articles that tries to appeal to the reader by citing the University Professor, but look what school this is at. :rofl: :funn: :funn: :funn:

My regards to anyone on these boards who may be Roger Williams alumni.

Do any of you know people who go out to Wal-Mart and walk around just to greet neighbors and chat in the evenings? It appears this is the small town version of a neighborhood bar in some areas. Guess if you already know everyone inside the store, you could always give the parking lot with its RVs a shot. Bizarro!
