Wine choices for the weekend
« on: February 16, 2007, 12:30:05 PM »
For all of you wine connoisseurs out there.  Enjoy!

Since I know you enjoy a good glass of wine every once in a while, I just learned about a new wine varietals you might find interesting.

Wal-Mart announced that, on January 25, 2007, 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 throw a bottle of 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. She said: "But the right name is important"

Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Wal-Mart 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 Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).

I thought you might want to know
