Wal-Mart Whine

So, what would YOUR name be for Wal-Mart wine? Mine would be "Wal-Mart Whine," in honor of the multitudes of screaming, crying kids I see in there anytime I go.

FYI, I am not necessarily a Wal-Mart snob; I go when absolutely necessary, and I didn't come up with the list at the end that some of you may find snooty.

BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) - Some Walmart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount item -- Walmart'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 Walmart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for inexpensive wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger WilliamsUniversity in Bristol, R.I. She said: "The right name is important."

So, with that in mind, here are the top 12 suggested names for Walmart Wine:

12. Chateau Traileur Doublewide
11. White Trashfindel
10. Big Red Gulp
9. Grape Expectations
8. Domaine Walmart "Merde du Pays"
7. NASCARbernet
6. Chef Boyardeaux
5. Peanut Noir
4. Chateau des Moines
3. I Can't Believe It's Not Vinegar!
2. World Championship Wriesling

And the number 1 name for Walmart Wine...

1. Nasti Spumante
