Franzia White Zinfandel 5L

Chilled this for a backyard BBQ and it disappeared fast — the strawberry sweetness is light enough that even my friends who usually skip rosé had a second glass. The box spout pours clean without dripping, which I didn't expect at this price.

The 5L box lasts us weeks and stays fresh the whole time, which surprised me since I expected it to turn after a few days. It's lightly sweet and easy to drink over ice, and for the price I'm not sure I'll go back to bottles.

We go through this stuff fast at summer cookouts, and the 5L box lasts way longer than a couple of bottles would. It's on the sweeter side for sure, but over ice it's exactly what I want on a hot afternoon.
