Sangria comes from the Spanish word sangre, or blood, which refers to the color of the traditional drink. Sangria is generally made from Rioja, but any reasonably priced red wine will do. Sangria is best enjoyed chilled, it may be poured over ice but that will dilute the alcohol content as well as the flavor.
