Fun wine names

I have decided that when I officially ask my matron's of honor/bridesmaids to be in my wedding party that I am going to give them a hand painted wine glass that says "will you be my bridesmaid" around the bottom of the glass.  I want to also get them each a bottle of wine with it and wanted one with funny names.  I originally was going to get them "Bitch" wine, but I am going to give them the gifts along with xmas presents and thought that our parents probably wouldn't appreciate the joke.  There is also a wine called "Bridesmaid" but it seems to run around $40 and I would like to spend around $20 or less.  Anyone know of any wines with a fun name that would work for this gift?
TIA

    Could you buy bottles of wine you like (in your price range) and make a label to cover it?

    Most of them prefer red, but either one would be fine.

    <div>I agree.  You could end up with some bad wine if you go by name alone, particularly since you're dealing with a particular price range.  I'd rather get a bottle of good wine with a random name than bad wine with a clever name.</div>

    I guess I could make my own labels, but the less work the better because I am painting the wine glasses and that's going to be a pain.

    <div>Then don't worry about the names and labels!  Just buy good wine that you think they'll like.</div>

    Yeah, I guess you're right, I just thought it would be fun to have the funny labels. 
    Danes, let me know what you find and maybe I'll test one before buying it for all of them :)

    Granted these are probably more inappropriate then the
    "Bitch" wine, but I thought I'd share these "unique" names.

    Jam, I was just on WS website looking at new tools. I noticed this and made me think of you.  Just a thought.

    I've been to the Big A$$ winery (it's in the Finger Lakes).. i brought home some Big A$$ Red and Big A$$ White. I wasn't impressed with their other wines, but the straight White and Red were okay.

    Just wanted to let you know in case you went that route :)

    Menage au trois (sp?) is my mom's favorite wine. I like it alot, Its a good inexpensive red (around $10 a bottle)
    Agree with PP that Big A$$ isnt that great.
    There are some with fun labels even if the names arent that funny. I like red truck, smoking loon and there is a proseco with special new years bottles but I cant think of the name
