While the origin of red sangria
is not precisely known, it is commonly thought to have been created to enhance the taste of low-quality wine. Wine of the past was often subpar in quality and needed to be blended with other ingredients to make it more palatable. By adding fresh fruits and other flavors to the wine, its unpleasant characteristics could be masked, resulting in a more enjoyable beverage.
Today, red sangria is enjoyed all over the world and has become a popular party drink. It is especially popular in the summertime when it can be served cold and enjoyed outdoors. The fruity and refreshing taste of red sangria makes it the perfect drink to sip on a hot day.
