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.

“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.
