This is from our good friend Beth.
BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) - Some Wal-Mart customers soon will be able to sample 
a new discount item -- Wal-Mart's own brand of wine.

The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery 
of  Modesto, CA, to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the 
$2-$3  range.  While some 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 Mary Jane LuAnn McCoy, professor of marketing at 
Roger  Williams University in Bristol, R.I.  She said: "The right name is 
important."

The top 12 suggested names for Wal-Mart Wine:

12.  Chateau Traileur Parc
11.  White Trashfindel
10.  Big Red Gulp
  9.  Grape Expectations
  8.  Domaine Wal-Mart "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 Riesling

And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine...
  1.  Nasti Spumante
