This is soooo good! I halved the recipe for 2 people. I loved the flavor from the fruit variety and sugar. So, so yummy. Made for ZWT8 Spain. Thank you!

Delicious! We loved this fruity and refreshing sangria. I made this as written, using a Spanish Rioja wine. The only thing I did differently was to let the sangria chill overnight, allowing all of the fruit to mellow nicely. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!<br/>**Made for ZWT 8**

I am not a big drinker but loved this recipe. I made it for the family cookout and everyone loved it. Thanks for the great recipe.

another 5 stars from me, I will be making this again!! DH & I really enjoyed it. I let the fruit sit for several hours and used a potatoe masher to squeeze the juice out. I need to try this with different types of wine!
