There has been some hype on the internet about the release of Private Label Wines being released under the Winemaker Name from Walmart. The majority of the wines cost around $11.00 or slightly more. But the kicker is that in most of the articles about this wine they say the wine buyer from Walmart claimed that these wines drink like a $30.00 – $40.00 bottle.
Like anyone else that enjoys wine I was really pumped to try this wine and see what I thought. I didn’t see the wine at one Walmart but the following week I found a bottle of Winemaker Red Blend at my local Walmart Grocery. It’s made in Italy with Italian Grapes.
Today a week latter I forgot what the aroma was like…….sorry.
I swirled it.
It had slight legs.
I sip some.
ummmmmmm
It taste mostly of burnt wood.
It taste like no frills orange juice with lots of burnt wood with added baby aspirin.
Zero body in the mouth. It feels like water.
It’s difficult to swallow.
I’ll give it a generous 1.5 star rating out of five for the $10.97 price point.
I do note it is a possibility my local store mishandled the wine as I have in the past many times purchased spoiled or out of date grocery from my local Walmart Grocery Store and other stores.
Your results can possibly differ but I doubt it.
Those were my Forking Thoughts on Walmart’s Winemakers Selection Red Blend Wine.
