Sangria (fruit wine, red or white) detailed introduction + editor's explanation 🍷🍊🍓

Sangria, a traditional fruit wine drink originating from Spain and Portugal, has exploded in popularity in the global summer cocktail scene in recent years, becoming a must-have for parties, get-togethers, and simply exploring the world! Sangria is essentially a wine-based cocktail, either red or white, combined with a variety of fresh fruits, a sweetener (like sugar or honey), and a fizzy drink (soda, orange juice, or even pop). The drink boasts a refreshing, fruity aroma, a sweetness tinged with a hint of wine, and a refreshing, refreshing, and refreshing drink perfect for the hot summer months. ☀️🍓🍋

The origin and characteristics of Sangria

The word "Sangria" comes from the Spanish word "Sangre," meaning "blood," due to the vibrant red color of traditional red wine versions. The drink also has a fascinating story: local farmers would mix leftover wine with fruit juice and spices in large pots for easy sharing. Over time, Sangria has evolved into various variations, including the must-drink, iced white wine version, which is lighter and more refreshing in the summer. 🍷🍏
