I got this in an email from a friend. Thought you all might get a kick out of it.
Wal-Mart's own brand of wine. The world's largest retail chain is team 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, RI, "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. NASCARbernet
8. Chef Boyardeaux
7. Peanut Noir
6. Stagger Home
5. Chateau des Moines
4. Martha Stewart's Sour Grapes
3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
2. World Championship Wriesling
1. Nasti Spumante

I wonder if the label is going to have a big yellow smiley face on it?

Actually, Its under a label called "Alcott Ridge" or something similar to this. Has some nice trees and mountains I think....
I think they really tried to downplay the wal-mart aspect of it all.

IMHO, the label should show a smiley face of old man Walton with the motto; " I stomped a lot of grapes to bring you this juice! " WW
