(According to Wikipedia) Sangria is a wine punch typical of Portugal and Spain. It normally consists of:
a light, dry, young, acidic, unoaked, inexpensive red wine, usually Spanish Rioja; other reds that work well include French wines such as Gamay or Beaujolais, and Italian wines such as Grignolino, Bardolino, Dolcetto, Freisa or Lambrusco.
chopped or sliced fruit such as orange, lemon, lime, apple, peach, melon, berries, pineapple, grape or mango
a sweetener such as honey, sugar, simple syrup, orange juice, and/or fruit nectar
a small amount of added brandy and triple sec, or other spirits
In some recipes (common in the United States) Seltzer, Sprite or 7up and ice.
