I saw this the other day and thought you would get a good laugh...My favorite is "big red gulp"

Wal-Mart announced that they will soon be offering
 customers 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 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 cheap wine",said Kathy Micken, professor of  
 marketing. She said: "But the right name is important."  
 Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most
 attractive name for the Wal-Mart brand. The top  surveyed  
 names in order of popularity are:
       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
 And the number 1 name for Wal-Mart Wine:
 
 1.  Nasti Spumante

 The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with  
 either white meat Possum)or red meat(Squirrel).

Very funny

Supermarket "own-brand" wine is common in the UK.

I seriously doubt that the Gallos could create a cheapo-tasting wine even if they wanted to!

Excellent! Alcohol and firearms, one stop shopping!

Who buys wine by the box?
