What is sangria and what is its origin?

Sangria is a traditional Spanish drink, fresh and fruity, made with wine (usually red) combined with chopped fruit, sugar, and a touch of liquor or soda.

Its origin dates back centuries, when in Spain wines were mixed with fruits and spices to create a refreshing and easy-to-enjoy beverage during the summer.

Sangria became especially popular in the regions of Andalusia and Catalonia, becoming a symbol of Spanish culture and a favorite choice for celebrations and casual gatherings.

Today, there are many variations, including white, rosé, or non-alcoholic sangrias, which keep the tradition alive with a modern twist.
