DESCRIPTION:

Sangria Day is yet another event without a sponsor that appeared on the Internet and is now widely accepted. Strangely, December was chosen rather than the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. It's more of a summer drink, though it is popular in lieu of punch at holiday parties. Logic is not the Internet's strong suit.

Sangria, the popular fruity wine-based beverage, has a history that dates back centuries, with its roots intertwined with the rich tapestry of Spanish culture and cuisine. The beverage's Sangria creation mirrors the early traditions of fruit-infused wines in the Iberian Peninsula.

Adding fruits and spices to wine has been prevalent for millennia, seen in various cultures as a way to enhance the flavor of wine and make it more palatable. Sangria is believed to have originated with the Romans, who planted vineyards across the Iberian Peninsula around 200 BC. The Romans would fortify their wine with fruits, herbs, and spices for taste and as a method of sanitizing the drinking water.

The term "Sangria" is derived from the Spanish word "sangre," meaning blood, pointing to the deep red color of the drink, which is a mixture of red wine, chopped fruits including oranges, lemons, berries, apples, or peaches, and often a touch of brandy or another spirit, sweetened with sugar and sometimes flavored with spices.

Sangria's popularity grew over the centuries, becoming a Spanish and Portuguese cuisine staple. However, it gained international acclaim after its introduction to a broader audience at the 1964 New York World's Fair. The Spanish Pavilion served Sangria as a refreshing example of a typical Spanish drink, capturing the palates and imaginations of visitors from across the globe.

Since then, Sangria has evolved, with many regional variations and interpretations. While red wine remains the traditional base, white wine (Sangria Blanca) and even cava (Spanish sparkling wine) versions have become popular. The choice of fruits, spirits, and sweeteners varies widely, allowing for diverse flavors and styles.
