Sangria Wine

Once opened, store leftover sangria wine in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It's best consumed within about a month.

Choose a wine you'd enjoy drinking on its own – the flavors will be concentrated in the sangria.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of wine; a dry rosé or even a white wine can also be used for sangria.

The addition of fruit and spirits will mellow the wine, so a slightly bolder wine can be a good choice.

Using an overly expensive or complex wine, as its nuances can be lost among the other sangria ingredients.
