Saturday Wine-O: Sangria

Wine Spotlight: Sangria 





Sangria is a Wicked (great) wine punch served throughout the western world. My First time trying it was in Madrid Spain. Typically served during the summer months, but like all drinks their available anywhere alcohol is sold. Sangria is cold, refreshing and delectably fruity in flavor. The alcohol content varies widely according to which recipe is used, but the basic form contains wine, fruit and some form of brandy poured over ice.

White Sangria is made with a white wine. This type of sangria has been making a strong appearance lately, at restaurants and social gatherings. The reason, it has more class and elegance to it.
