Sangria
A GIFT FROM THE OLD WORLD Sangria Sangria has solid roots in the past. The name stems from “sangre” — or “blood” in Spanish — inspired by the red wine used in its creation. Many stories point to the origins of this lovely elixir dating as far back as 2,000 years ago. As recipes of the first Sangrias didn’t exist, some historians feel linking the beverage back thousands of years is folklore. But many, such as iconic European crystal glass producer Riedel, have their own explanation of its roots. They recount a tale of Sangria originating in Rome and arriving on the shores of Portugal and Spain due to historic battles and travels.
