Citrusy, sweet, and strong.
Want to make a wine snob shudder? Drop some ice cubes into your glass. Or, worse, add some fruit. More than a few Italian and Spanish friends of mine, though, do it without hesitation, and boy do they enjoy it. Wine is as everyday to them as salt—it's ever-present, and not in need of coddling quite as much as some purists would insist.
Meanwhile, the 1964 World's Fair is credited with boosting sangria's popularity in the United States, though in this case too, the history has deeper roots. Before sangria was popular in the US, there was sangaree, a drink of fortified wine like madeira or port mixed with water, nutmeg, and sometimes citrus juice.
They ended up going down the drain. It turns out that the fruit in sangria works nothing like the fruit in a fruit salad. Some were good. The apples, the citrus, the grapes, and the peaches were all lovely in their wine-soaked states. But the berries and melons were slippery and soggy, the mango and pineapple were bizarre in red wine, and just about every specimen with unremovable seeds was painfully bitter.
. Really the only things to avoid are higher-end wines, which will be a waste of money as they lose their nuances in the sangria pitcher, and big, tannic reds, which can produce an overly acerbic drink.Sangria is easily mixed to taste and will vary depending on the wine and fruit used and the tastes of the person making it. You could just dump the wine into a pitcher and add some fruit and citrus juices, then let it sit for a while.
