SANGRIA TIPS:
If you leave your sangria in the refrigerator for a long time before serving, the fruit will begin to soak up some of the alcohol and will be a tasty boozy treat after you finish your drink.
There is no need to use an expensive bottle of wine in order to make good Sangria. The qualities of a good bottle of wine may go unnoticed with so many other flavours competing for your attention.
Be careful. Sangria is a drink that is so good you almost forget there is alcohol in it. Too many Sangrias may result in a nasty hangover.
Red wine stains!!!, so be careful that you don't spill your Sangria on white carpets, furniture, or other lightly colored upholstery. Enjoy!
