The story behind it

The maker

Teresa Franzia founded the Franzia brand in 1906 in Ripon, California, after planting her first vineyard. The brand survived Prohibition and eventually transitioned into an industry giant, known globally for making everyday wines accessible to everyone through innovative boxed packaging.

How it is made

Franzia was originally founded as a family winery in California, pioneering the distribution of quality table wines. Today, it is famous for its revolutionary bag-in-box packaging, which keeps the wine fresh for up to six weeks after opening.
