Available in Fine Bidets Everywhere

Here is a recent humor e-mail that made its way to me. Hope it’s not too old. It’s presented as a mock AP wire story. Highly enjoyable.

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 Ernest &Julio 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).
