SANGRIA RECIPE | simple authentic red sangria
Serious Mealtimes / Amanda Suarez
Want to make a wine snob wince? Add some ice cubes to your glass. Or worse add some fruit. More than a few Italian and Spanish friends of mine do this without hesitation and they enjoy it. Wine is as commonplace to them as salt: it’s ubiquitous and doesn’t need to be cherished as much as some purists claim. But even wine purists in my experience won’t mind an ice-cold pitcher of sangria once it’s been placed in front of them a nice bit of cognitive dissonance to make way for the undeniably delicious combination of chilled wine sugar and fruit.
Tinkering with wine anaesthetics and when wine tasted more like vinegar than what we would now call wine to cover up its many flaws dates back at least to Roman times. Honey fruit herbs and more were routinely added to wine to make it more palatable and while winemaking standards have improved so much these days that even the cheap stuff doesn’t need such flamboyant interventions it’s still fun to do.
