Bernie Sanders To Hold Fundraiser Featuring Franzia Boxwine In Actual Cave

Fearing his was missing out on attracting important donors, Bernie Sanders is holding his own wine cave dinner.

“I have to stay ahead of Mayor Pete.”

The invitation to the gala event includes the GPS co-ordinates of the cave, though Sanders warns his guests to leave plenty of time.

“It’s not so easy to get to but the price is right.”

Attendees are advised to bring their own folding chairs if they don’t want to stand, but they will be able to feast on unlimited saltines and Franzia boxwine.

“I’ll be serving three vintages – white, sweet red, and rose. The best part is just when you think it’s run out, you simply tip the box and there’s always more!”

Though he agreed with his advisors to hold the upscale fundraiser, Sanders does fear it could upset his traditional base.

“I already bought myself a new blue sweater at TJ Maxx the other day so this could be the last straw.”

There are plenty of quality box wines at an equivalent price of $6-7 a bottle, and even Charles Shaw at $2.99 a bottle is serviceable.

Franzia is what our English cousins would call "plonk".

When you think of boxed wine, who doesn’t think of Franzia? This classic brand got high marks for its value. A five-liter box (most boxed wines are only three liters) costs less than $20 – that comes out to $0.59 per glass! But outside of the amazing price, Franzia’s Dark Red Blend also impressed us with its rich bouquet.

Slightly dry, this red blend also gave us some earthier flavors accompanied by subtle notes of currants. During our blind sampling, a few tasters commented on how this wine stood out as being more festive than the others. Something about those dark fruit flavors and a touch of spice had us thinking fruitcake (in a good way!). Sipping this wine, we definitely envisioned ourselves enjoying a glass with friends during a holiday party.

Taste testing can be tricky business. It’s rare that our panel ever comes to any unanimous decisions, however tasting these wines, we all were in agreement about our top three picks. Overall, we’d happily sip any of these delish boxed wines – Bota Box, Black Box or Franzia – at the next holiday hoopla.

Maybe it fits the budget of a lot of people.
