It's funny to think about buying wine at Wal-Mart, however, it really is perfectly logical. When you have a shortage of a certain grape, there is the potential of the price skyrocketing. But, if we think of a bountiful harvest we fail to watch how they market the excess, lowering the price serve only to ruin that segment of the market. Right now I'd say there is a wine lake. So to sell the excess, why not label it "Wally's Wine" and sell it to people who would never pay big bucks for it? A 750 milliliters bottle with a big name label may sell for $25-$30...but, at a Wal-Mart or Safeway under another label it is less than $7 a gallon. A buddy here works at a very large well known wine producer, he'll let me know when they ship the good stuff to a low price packager/distributor allowing me to buy on the cheap...but IMO sometimes the good stuff tastes like pucky. Btw. I recently saw a tv story about wine grapes doing very well in the mid-west.
