BEHIND THE DISH · Spain
Red wine sangriaBeyond the plate.
Wine and fruit mingle in a chilled pitcher. Sangria is easy to share and easy to adapt to the fruit at hand.
ORIGINS & EVOLUTION
A flexible wine drink.
Spain’s tourism guide describes sangria as red wine with chopped fruit and sugar, with additional ingredients varying by place and preparation.
CULTURAL CONTEXT
A pitcher for the table.
Our version keeps the formula simple: wine, citrus, apple, and a little sparkling water. It contains alcohol even though no extra spirits are added.
AT THE TABLE
Chill before adding bubbles.
Let the fruit sit with the wine in the refrigerator. Add sparkling water just before pouring, and put ice in individual glasses so the whole pitcher does not become diluted at once.
