They've nicknamed three of the five wines using lyrics and songs from previous albums. There's "Your roommate's (not so cheap) screwtop rosé" inspired by the song "Maroon" from the album "Midnights." "Champagne Problems" is a song from the "evermore" album and "Merlot on his mouth" is a lyric from "No Body, No Crime" from "evermore."

There's a super-secret party planned at Providence College for students only.
