 Hey njroute22.com here with another cheap wine reviews vlog This one is very interesting to me because I have overlooked it a million times It's the Franzia Dark red blend it's the Vintner select I Overlooked these because I heard anecdotally that they were they were the worst wines ever by the worst box wines And they're also the cheapest, but the other day dawned on me that There's Five liters. That's 5,000 milliliters of wine Which is a six and two-thirds bottles of wine for 1799 it comes out to less than two dollars and seventy cents per 750 milliliter Serving or bottle or whatever you want to call it So this is six and two-thirds bottles of wine and I looked at them. I think I've overlooked it in the past because I Don't know why I do that. I Gather myself. It's I don't really have gas when I go like that. I think I'm just thinking I don't know why you but I looked at these these wines these Franzia wines in the past They were all 12 and a half percent I really stay away from the 12 and a half percent, but then I looked at this one like dark red That's the latest trend is the dark red blends and all this other crap. I think that's just their way of saying Dark red blend is um, we don't know what the f this is. It just is so we're just gonna call it something We can't tell you what grapes are in it. It's like just like a roulette wheel of grapes. Hmm. I Looked at this 13 and a half percent. I'm like, well, wait a minute, you know, this might we might be onto something here or Or not or we may be in for a horrible day tomorrow I really don't care about the history of this company or how long they've been around or what their their MO is and I Don't care. I care how I feel the next day and what the value is I looked on their stupid website You know, I mean, I knew something was wrong the minute I saw it like they have Carbon efficient and green on their menu options. I really don't freaking care It's all big scam. Don't don't even buy into that emotional triggering. Anyway, here's their stupid Carefully edited tasting notes. I ate tasting notes. I'll tell you some tasting notes and I'm done reading this Rich juicy flavors of dark fruit With the romans of red cherry and ripe plum the finish is smooth with a hint of vanilla and pepper spice Enjoy with red meats and chocolate desserts. I'll give you that I mean, I think I do thumbs up every time because I like drinking fast So it's not because the wine is good. You ever see me going like this with a wine It doesn't mean I'm endorsing so let let I may have to rethink this thumbs up because the thumbs up is my pleasure for drinking You know, this is 32 ounce jug here drinking 12 ounces or so of it Well, I'll drink it now. Anyway, maybe I'll try without the thumb Like I said, that's uh, it's more refreshing than that a bayekka from the other day That Spanish one that was $40 at one point in time down to 10 or 11 or 12 Forget about it I'll tell you one thing about this Franzia. This isn't my this is my third Glass and I'm drinking eight of these glasses, which equal two of these bottles the size bottle What I do is I I take this 10 pounds I Take it and I fill my bottle up twice so I can measure without really relying on my memory of Filling up the the measuring cup to six and a half ounces every time I fill this up to about there And I drink this twice. That's two bottles one. This is that's a more accurate general estimation But yesterday I was drinking some other kind of wine. I forget it wasn't included in the review And then when I finished and I need one more glass, so I cracked open this Freaking roadblock of a box of wine. It's not that heavy It's just you're not used to when you're used to carrying a three liter Bottle that's 40 percent heavier. It's this weighs over 10 pounds. It's 160 ounces, I think 150 170 ounces of wine Eight pound gallon is 128 ounces. That's like almost a half. That's like 10 or 12 pounds It's amazing It's awesome to use it as a weapon Anyway, I drink some ordinary wine. That's like a hot slightly higher quality. Believe me. It wasn't really that much higher quality And I at the end of the night, I had one glass just before I went to bed Completely different league you cannot mix like a like a oak barrel Wine and then have this afterward it really didn't came in for a surprise it tasted almost like Not like wine it tastes like like a vomit. No, I'm not a vomit, but Hmm. Let's do what I'm looking for gag. It was gag inducing and because it Not because of taste per se because of the surprise I got it was a very unwind like taste however today I made an effort to To start off and only have this and It's not the most welcoming flavor the way they say, you know They knit me now Hints of this and dark It really does taste kind of like you know, it's yeasty. I don't know if that's the right word. Maybe I got a bad box I checked expiration. It's good till uh May 10th of 2019 so I have well At least six or eight months to drink it Nine months to drink it but I'll tell you this much it's more refreshing As that baica that I had the other day It's a fun wine to drink I guess The key is how do I feel after two bottles? So I'm only Three eighths of the way into into this endeavor So I'm going to kick off bottle number one and and and prepare bottle number two And I'll come back either at the end. I'm gonna try and make these shorter. They've been going on um 20 30 minutes and that's not good. So I'm going to cut this zone off Just let you know that it was it has a completely different taste. I wouldn't even worry about it. You get used to it Um, and it's not offensive Except unless you follow like a finely aged wine and then this really does taste different So that those are the key takeaways at this moment I'll come back when I'm either at or near the two bottle limit and then I'll do another video in the morning To see how I feel. All right, that's it. Hey, we're back here with our final Drinking time update for the night for the Franzia dark red blend um I have a couple anecdotes to share with you guys number one This is they say it's a 13 and a half percent alcohol wine on my eighth Glass, which is this is the last of the two bottles that I drank And I don't feel nearly as slurry if you watch any of my other videos I get really like kind of tired and slurry and they ramble and da da da da Not happening with this. So I'm questioning the alcohol content on this. I don't quite buy It Why based on simple Experimentation I've had other 13.5 like the explorer door. I did like a way back two bottles of that two seven fifties and I'm a little bit At the end I feel like I mean I'm not done with the last bottle. Maybe this is the the grand finale I'm just gonna like hit hit that fan like a pilot dog poop I don't know. Maybe it's one of those wines where it's all of a sudden like you're fine. And whoa Face pipe on the ground I don't know with that said I'm wondering if this lack of buzz is gonna either translate into a Hey, I'm gonna feel freaking fantastic tomorrow or The worst hangover. So we're gonna find out in the morning. I do my last step here, right? Never mind Remember how I told you that it tastes kind of like gamey and yeasty After you know for two three four five six seven The wine tastes just as good as as those other expensive wines that I've had This far into the game. So like it really I can't tell a difference. It's actually quite refreshing and good. I may have a ninth and tenth glass That'll ruin my day after review, but I don't care I like it. This is This may be my new friend. I don't know Say hello to my little friend What movie is that from? Godfather. All right, it's not the most refreshing Definitely not as bad as the Bayekka, which was this highly talented $40 wine reduced to 25 38 to 10 Don't don't believe the hype as they say. Who is that the public enemy? I don't think you should believe this hype either. I mean, it's I don't know if it's hyped up but For anybody who's on a budget and just wants to get a like I have wine at night or have a good buzz Profoundly the numeral uno Deal out there is this this one not that the white boxes, but the black box that says Dark red blend and you know what? I mean, I'll be honest. I didn't try the white boxes Maybe the 12 and a halfs have more of an impact than a 13 and a half that they claim I don't have a alcohol testing machine here where I can just dip a little swab into a into this Bag here and it'll tell me exactly what it is If I can squeeze this in 60 seconds, I'd be happy Why don't they have home consumer testing kits to find out the chemical composition? They claim they have them. They don't okay. I promise you they don't they have things that scan your food It's a big effing Sham it goes into a database and then it's not really actually chemically scanning your food. I promise you But they need something where you take like let's say you get a like a plate of nachos You take a representation sample like a third of it or quarter You stick it into this solution to some sort of neutral solution And it'll dissolve the the material And it'll mix it into a fluid and you can just stick something in it'll tell you exactly per Serving size and you can obviously adjust the criteria You know at one ounce six ounce eight ounce twelve ounce a pound This is 22% carbs 4% protein They have that they have it. They absolutely have it. It's not complicated. You have to just like Emulsify all the ingredients into an even base Okay, that were Every scoop is exactly the same percentage of ingredients like think of the plate of nachos again Or a hamburger with french fries That plate is comprised of like a million different like ingredients You have the bond the sesame seeds the meat the bacon the onions the mayo the Lettuce the french fries, but if you want to know what the the nutritional content of that entire That of food you got you basically stick it into his this jar With some sort of emulsifying fluid and you make it equal you make every spoon full of that food Equal to each other and then at that point you can do a chemical analysis on and say that this Entire plate and the way that the the the jar let's say it was a jar. This this was my hamburger emulsified liquefied And you say okay, this is this is a pound of material 16 ounces 454 grams And then you take a scoop and every scoop is equal at that point once you've emulsified it and Like blended it together and everything is is is pretty much equal You stick it into this machine and it says okay, this is 20 carbs 50 fat and 40 percent 30 protein Then you can that you can you can do the math at that point based on the weight of the solution Minus whatever emulsifying agent or liquid you put in it They have that already they have it already It's just not available to the public and that's why for the past five years or more These Kickstarter stupid ass campaigns. I'm sorry. This is so off the beaten path of wine But it's sort of related because I want to be able to really test the alcohol content of this wine They've had these stupid Kickstarter campaigns from these fly-by-night like Financial companies who use psychological marketing The trick people are you scan your apple and they'll tell you no None of those food scanning tools work. I guarantee you they don't work They might be you know, I don't know 30 accurate based on the fact that they're using a general Generally known nutritional information like an apple skin Or that the but they don't know And those stupid things are ripping you up. I feel horrible for the people that have shelled out millions of dollars Collectively and bought into their marketing campaign because you bought into a marketing campaign You didn't buy into the science. Okay, that's the truth and guarantee it But let me remind you You take your hamburger french fries buns and so on you stick into an emulsifying agent Equalized the liquid Where every spoonful or scoop that comes out of it is exactly, you know, plus or minus one percent The exact same composition of ingredients Then you analyze that and then you can multiply by the weight and figure out what the the nutritional content is they need Products like that for human beings to use on a consumer level So I can go if I take my stupid stoffer stuffed pepper Uh thing and it says it's 300 uh calories and and six grams of carbs I want to stick that stupid pepper into my little my my my emulsifying jar And I want to be able to to know exactly that the composition Times weight minus emulsifying agent equals exactly what they say Why can't we verify what these people Say is in our food? I will get back this in a minute, but I have one last thing to say I went rambling. Holy crap. I went 10 minutes But I think this is an important thing. Maybe I'll cut it out and make it another video two footnotes two footnotes and and These may be impactful footnotes. The first one is going to be an impactful footnote I drank two bottles of wine the equivalent. I drank 1.5 liters of franzia And I feel fine actually I feel so much more fine than I did with other two bottle test things experience So I may have another one or two glasses. So that may impact This review for tomorrow morning Luckily since I like like this giant like vessel of wine, I maybe I'll do it again If I screw up if I say, oh, I feel like crap. I have to do it again with really two liters I mean 1.5 liters Number two, I wanted to show you this this this valve here. See that valve This is an interesting valve almost all valves have a thumb depressor where you just press it And if you drop it, it's not going to spill wine. This is uh like a Like a sink faucet you turn it and it stays on until you turn it off That's one of the flaws of this box. Like you have to I mean, it's good Like for me when I was filling up my wine bottle, I just turn turn the knob and waited And then it was done. It was just like a faucet. That's like human nature. However There's something to be said about about action reaction. Like when you hold the the knob down You're guaranteed it's not going to move if you move your if you remove your hand This you just have to be conscious of so like I think as you get I think they might bank on the fact that people might get so drunk that they don't know how to turn the knob off And then all the wine goes away and they have to buy another box of Francia, you know, I don't know anyway I will decide if I want to remove that five minute rampage about about Chemical analysis because I'm sure they have that technology. I am sure they have that technology Without a doubt they have that technology. They wouldn't be able to put together these nutritional labels With such Accuracy if they didn't have such technology. They don't want that technology hitting the the the mainstream human populace and that's why they came out with those fraudulent stupid ass cloud scanners that just took pictures of an apple and then took the mainstream commonly known Data about a freaking apple you don't know about an apple you have to do a true chemical analysis to get the real sugar protein Starch, etc content of it. So don't leave those freaking labels And if anybody that's watching this and like all the 25 people that watch it If you see those stupid Kickstarter campaigns of these fancy devices that that can scan your your banana and tell you what you're getting And you buy it I can offer free consultation to to get out of that that paradigm You're in and and shift it to something like like a lot more more healthy Anyway, I'm gonna put this back in the fridge. I am definitely going over two bottles tonight I mean, I'm just on a roll tonight. I'm rendering a video in my office I have to figure out a way to edit this this this chemical testing tirade out of the out of the video But I think I may make it to another video because it's important to know The chemistry is simple. We did it in elementary school You can mix it all together and make it almost an equal Juice just remember that and you can test that little equal juice, you know 28 grams 20.4 grams an ounce And you can figure out exactly what's in it Every chemical that's in it. You don't need a high tech device and in the fact that I've asked like like like Neuroscientists that invented target control and did all sorts of other things and they don't believe me that that's possible Means they're part of the freaking racket. I'm done. I'm done with this It will happen some brilliant guy in his garage is going to invent it He's going to be on kickstart probably in the next five years three to five years And it's going to blow the health industry out of the water. It has to happen. It will all right We'll see you Hey there, it's the day after of the Franzia box wine the cheapest wine You could possibly buy I think per glass And I have to say that I actually drank more than two bottles um Like one glass more than two bottles and I only got three hours of sleep So all those things considered I uh, I feel okay today. So that being said, I think it passes the test I'll try again a couple times. I mean I have six and two-thirds bottles there to test this out. That's it
