Two Women in Bentonville Arkansas – One pointing at Wine
Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of the Wal-Mart brand into their shopping carts but
‘There is a market for inexpensive wine,’ said Kathy McMicken, professor of Mass Marketing at the U. of Ark in Bentonville, AR.
Dr. McMicken said ‘However, branding will be very important.’
Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Wal-Mart wine brands and varieties.
The top surveyed names in order of popularity were:
- Chateau Traileur Parc
- White Trashfindel
- Big Red Gulp
- World Championship Riesling
- NASCARbernet
- Chef Boyardeaux
- Peanut Noir
- I Can’t Believe it’s not Vinegar
- Grape Expectations
- Nasti Spumante
The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).
P.S. Don’t bother writing back to tell me that this is a hoax. I know Squirrel is not a red meat.
