Walmart wine (university, price, shop)

[joskel]

[SIZE=2][SIZE=2][SIZE=4]Wal-Mart announced that, sometime in 2011, it will begin 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 put a bottle of Wal-Mart brand into their shopping carts, but "there is a market for inexpensive wine," said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at the University of Arkansas . "But the right name is important."

Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive name for the Wal-Mart wine brand.

Yeah, it's 3 bucks, but it's pretty decent IMO. I'm not that picky in the wine department, though. Last time I was there they had some other brand really for 2 bucks!
