Drinking wine from a box is so pedestrian. The cool people are drinking it from backpacks now!
Franzia, a company so synonymous with affordable boxed wine that the mere mention of its name brings back memories of every bachelorette party you've ever been to, has launched an entire online shop of Franzia-themed merchandise and accessories including swimsuits, socks, and even a wine-dispensing backpack.
RESEARCHERS MAY HAVE DISCOVERED A HANGOVER CURE
“There is a special kind of friendship formed around a box of Franzia that turns friends into ‘Franz,’” said Jeff Dubiel, the chief marketing officer at Franzia’s parent company, The Wine Group, in a press release. “Our goal is to connect with these consumers throughout all of life’s friendship moments by continually offering new ways to interact with the brand.
“With our line of merchandise, we are giving our biggest ‘Franz’ fun new options for sharing how they are Franzia ‘Franz for Life,’” added Dubiel, really doubling-down on that Franz/friends pun.

In addition to its apparel, Franzia is also, y’know, still going to try to sell wine to consumers. And to that end, the company is also debuting two new 5-liter box offerings (Sauvignon Blanc and Bold & Jammy Cabernet), as well as two new 500-milliliter tetra boxes for its “Little Franz” line (Moscato and Cabernet Sauvignon).
