Sangria is a beverage originating in Spain, based on red wine mixed with citrus juices, sugar, and water, optionally carbonated, and often garnished with berries or fruit slices. Served chilled, it is a refreshing summer drink. From a food-safety view it is low-risk thanks to the wine’s alcohol and acidity, though fresh fruit garnishes should be washed and the drink kept chilled. Commercial versions are pasteurized for shelf stability. Its fruity, festive character has made it popular far beyond Spain’s borders.
