Just name it merlot and be done with it
Here’s a humorous net gag going around the email boxes of America. Found by John Markoff. It’s based on an AP report as the lead-in to the gags.
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 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:

This is reminiscent of the scene from “The Jerk”…”Give me some new wine none of this old stuff…” I’ve always wondered if people will buy urine in a bottle and now we’ll find out. mmm..Walmart White PukeInAPail sold in the finest boxes.
Five out of the top ten richest Americans has the last name of Walton. That sort of take the wind out of Wal-Mart jokes for me.

Walmart is a great place to shop in the event that all other retailers in the area are fire-bombed or file chapter-11 bankruptcy…otherwise, avoid walmart at all costs
Chateau Des Sams can be found in the automotive section:

For many of us, white trash jokes are self parody.
