I've removed a sentence at the end that expressed opinion about the quality of Charles Shaw wine without attributing it to a notable source. Also I believe the statement about Fred Franzia having no business relationship to Franzia wines was misleading. According to my research he was formally a part of Franzia Brothers Wines before it was sold to Coca-Cola. He then left and started Bronco Wines. Frazia Brothers became simply Franzia after it was bought from Cocoa-Cola by the Wine Group. I fixed the statement to reflect this info. --Cab88 19:12, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I think the artice reads like an advertisement for the wine. The first paragraph (ie Charles Shaw is an example of the recent trend of economy-minded wine drinkers seeking the greatest value. In particular the brand stands out not only for the low cost, but also for the respectable packaging and semi-frequent high ratings at wine tasting events). Also the ownership section does not read like an unbiased, authoritative source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.155.104.144 (talk) 09:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

"distributed exclusively" It's no longer trader joe's only. They sell this wine at kroger here in Atlanta. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.233.241 (talk) 00:26, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 20/20

Wasn't there a feature on the wine almost ten years ago, just after I first heard about it? MMetro (talk) 02:22, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
