This Is Rank Bigotry...


...But too funny to smother!

Wal-Mart is going to be marketing Wine! Wal-Mart announced that

Sometime in 2010, 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 spirits at an affordable price, in the $2 - $5 range.

Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of Walmart brand into their shopping carts, but "there is a market for inexpensive wine," said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at the University of Arkansas .

"But the right name is important."

Customer surveys were conducted to deter mine the most attractive name for the Walmart wine brand.

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).


I've got to admit....I've fallen asleep while watching my kids at the park AND at the beach!

Thanks to my MIL for this one. Believe me, if the statists allowed Walmarts near her in metro NYC....she'd be buying her cheese doodles there in bulk!

I knew you drove a clunker, but a Ranchero? That is a rust bucket.

But, nice goat.

I wonder who will have a better vintage, Walmart or 7-11?
