A Spanish wine punch built on red wine, sangria steeps orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, cloves, and a cinnamon stick together in a pitcher and is left to chill before serving. The make-ahead format is integral to its character, giving the spices and citrus time to infuse the wine into a full-bodied, fruit-and-spice-forward drink. Served in wine glasses at roughly 5 percent ABV, it sits at the low-alcohol, high-volume end of the cocktail spectrum, intended for sharing rather than sipping alone. Its fruity, refreshing profile and pitcher-scale preparation place it firmly among party and batch drinks, where a single recipe yields enough for several rounds.

History & Origins
Sangria has roots in Spanish and Portuguese drinking culture, where wine mixed with water, fruit, and spices was consumed for centuries as a safe and flavorful alternative to drinking plain water. The modern sangria recipe, featuring red wine and citrus, gained international recognition when it was introduced to American audiences at the 1964 World's Fair in New York. The name derives from the Spanish word 'sangre' (blood), a reference to its deep red color.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Red wine fruit — dark berry and plum — intermingled with orange peel, lemon zest, and warm cinnamon-clove spice. Palate: Medium-bodied and tannic from the red wine, brightened by orange and lemon juice acidity; sugar balances the citrus, and the cinnamon and cloves add a distinctive warming spice character. Finish: Fruity, lightly sweet, and lingering with clove spice and citrus.
Pro Tip
Refrigerate the sangria for at least four hours before serving to allow the wine, citrus, and spices to fully integrate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the traditional ingredients in Spanish Sangria?
Classic sangria is made with red wine, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, cloves, and cinnamon, chilled in a pitcher and served in wine glasses. The spices and citrus infuse the wine over time, giving the punch a complex, aromatic character that deepens the longer it steeps.
How long should Sangria be prepared in advance?
Sangria benefits from at least two to four hours of refrigeration before serving to allow the spices and citrus to infuse into the wine, and many recipes recommend overnight maceration for best flavour. The fruit and spice elements continue to meld, making the next day's sangria often more flavourful than a freshly made batch.
What wine works best for Sangria?
A medium-bodied Spanish red wine such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, or a Rioja blend is traditional and complementary to the spiced-citrus profile of sangria. The wine should be inexpensive but drinkable on its own, as very cheap wine or very tannic wines can produce an unbalanced result.
