BENTONVILLE, ARK (AP) --

Some Wal-Mart customers soon will be able to sample a new discount item --
Wal-Mart's own brand of wine.

The world's largest retail chain is teaming up with E&J Gallo Winery of
Modesto, Calif., 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
Wal-Mart 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 Wal-Mart

Wine:

12. Chbteau Traileur Parc

11. White Trashfindel
