Sangria is a wine-based punch traditional to Spain and Portugal, typically made from red wine mixed with chopped fruit such as orange, lemon and apple, sweetened, and often combined with a small amount of brandy or other liqueur and sometimes soda water or lemonade. Its name derives from the Spanish word for blood, referring to its deep red color when made with red wine, though white and sparkling versions are also common. Sangria is traditionally served chilled, often from a large pitcher, and is closely associated with Spanish and Portuguese social drinking and outdoor summer gatherings, and it has become widely known internationally, especially in tourist regions of Spain.
