The Very Best Sangria

There is a popular Spanish restaurant in town where they are known for their sangria. After years of downing this delicious and potent quaff, I had to have the recipe. You may make this with either red or white wine. Do not leave out the cinnamon. Add sugar to your likeness. Personally, I don't like it too sweet. Careful... This packs a punch on those unsuspecting.
