Kip Powick Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 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,California, to produce the spirits at an affordable price, in the $2 - $5 range. While wine connoisseurs may not be too inclined to throw a bottle of Walmart brand wine into their shopping carts, there is a market for cheap wine, said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. She said: "The right name is important." So, here we go: The top 12 suggested names for Walmart 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 The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with white meat (possum) and red meat (squirrel).

ccairspace Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 7. NASCARbernet There you go Mitch. Perfect for the next couch slouch and you'll never want the demon rum again! (Now really, don't you think that watching cars roar around a racetrack is sort of like watching a dog madly chasing its tail for hours? After the first few exhiliarating minutes, doesn't it get a bit, well, boring...?? ) ccairspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Cronin Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 How 'bout WalWine? CCAirspace... So what's wrong with watching a dog chase his tail? Put yourself in the dog's head and you'll understand... "Hey! That thing seems to get closer when I go faster... I just might get it yet!... maybe I need to jump at it?... . . . . . . ...Ok, so the NASCAR fetish is a bit of wishing like hell I could do that.... what can I say?... some people waste hours watching men slap a puck back and forth on ice... or chucking an odd shaped ball about on a big field.... or... belting a little white ball around in a park... ?? I've personaly never had as much fun out of any of those things as I have out of driving as fast as I possibly can... at the very edge of control... the slightest wrong twitch and all is lost... That, to me, is exciting! But hey, we digress... Yessir, go Walmart! (Am I really one of only about twelve people that remembers the "Mountain Red" you used to be able to buy for about 3 bucks a jug, in BC?)... Good luck with the Nasti Spumante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rattler Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Nascar and other "objective" sports are head and shoulders over any "subjective" sport (darn judges). As for reality shows...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deicer Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 CCAirspace... So what's wrong with watching a dog chase his tail? Put yourself in the dog's head and you'll understand... Mitch You sure have some cajone's my friend to open yourself up with a line like that. Showing the good taste and restraint that I have, I will leave the opportunity to others to take advantage of the faux pas....... Besides, you seem to have some experience with chasing your own tail??? Here's somewhere for you to go... http://www.1800bepetty.com/index2.html Personally, I would love to do the Daytona 16,,,,sigh,,,sigh Yours in Horsepower....

Airband Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Meanwhile back at the nunnery, Mother Superior calls all the nuns together and says to them, "I must tell you something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent." "Thank goodness," says an elderly nun at the back. "I am so tired of the Chardonnay." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
