OT Wal Mart wine

Dimitri said:

Wal-Mart has 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 reverse 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).

ROFLMAOOL,

Thanks Dimitri... I needed that laugh 🙂

Cheers - bottoms up/whatever 😉

How about calling it "Not for snobs with their noses stuck so far up
in the air that they can't breath"? If they gave it some sissy French
sounding name you trogs would trample a bus load of nuns to get to it.

Regardless of the label on the bottle, Gallo makes some truly hideous wines,
and only a few that fall into the category of "not so bad for the money".
It's got nothing to do with being a snob. It's just the reality of the
situation.

Of course you are correct. Just like the trailer trash, roadkill,
lower class etc references have nothing to do with being a bigot
right?

You may notice that I didn't say any of those things. Or, you may not
notice. But, this doesn't change the actual facts about Gallo, who will be
doing the private label work for WM wine.

What a bunch of snobs!! >:o

Possum and squirrel are not necesarily roadkill.

Again? Wasn't funny the first time around and not now. Just someone who
has it in for W-M and wants to display their bigotry concerning the south.

YOU should have been better than this. Remind me to wash my hand after
shaking yours.

Hey I'm not a snob! I treat all lower end wines the same by avoidance.
Much the same way I treat fast food restaurants and greasy spoons 🙂

Possum and squirrel are not necesarily roadkill.

In some areas these are trapped or shot although some enterprizing
individuals have been known to ping them off with tennis rackets. Here,
some will go out of their way to run them over so they are technically
roadkill. It's really a location thing. I'm not sure what these guys
do with trailer trash or lower class. I suspect trailer trash is
collected by the garbage collectors and lower class is likely delt with
by the elementary school system. Bigots are generally pan fried with a
little saucey sauce but in some places they are parboiled.
