Article quality

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)

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)

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

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)

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?

Picking up the torch

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.

Controversy section

This entire section has no relation at all to the company about which this article is written. It's about Branco and Fred Franzia, 20 years after his family sold the brand. I'll wait a while for any responses, and will most likely nuke that whole section as a coatrack. Horologium (talk) 00:05, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
