Wal-Mart wine?

Announced that sometime in 2013 it will begin offering customers a New discount 
item: Wal-Mart'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 Wal-Mart 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 Wal-Mart 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 Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either white meat 
Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).
P.S. Don't bother posting to tell me that this is a hoax. I know Squirrel is 
not a red meat.
