This article is like an advert. Maybe something could be salvaged and merged into the Wine Group article? --BodegasAmbite (talk) 14:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

If this article is to exist, it should include information about the production of Franzia and the controversy surrounding even calling it wine at all. What we have right now is just a fluff piece with little encyclopedic value. 66.80.65.244 (talk) 20:07, 3 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Indeed. How does one nominate for deletion? I shall look.Derekbd (talk) 20:27, 24 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

They have recently changed the tap to a cheaper one. The wine spoils very fast because it allows air into the box when the wine reaches the tap level. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethbarry (talk • contribs) 21:16, 25 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

This article is sloppy, but not an advert. I corrected a few things about Fred Franzia that are well-known, and, at the very least, appeared in a New Yorker article in 2011 (I'll attempt to update the references later). The problem with documenting brand names with a significant following is evidenced here. How does one separate knowledge on the subject from opinion about its commercial value?

Some of the content in the Teresa Franzia section comes from the merged stub Teresa Franzia. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 22:42, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Picking up the torch edit

Hi, I'm adding a bit more to this page, particularly to get it to the level of another similar page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Shaw_wine

As someone has previously mentioned, the article is a bit slim despite Franzia's relevancy as a boxed wine in popular culture (and controversy, perhaps). There is clearly a challenge when writing encyclopedic content about a brand, but I think we have a good chance here.
