Many people ask what is the best wine for sangria. Honestly, with wine, it comes down to a personal preference. In traditional sangrias, people like bold flavors and bright fruits, but in the end, this recipe can be altered many ways for different results. Red wine works great here because it pairs nicely with the sweetness from the fruit juices. A good choice would be a full-bodied Pinot Noir or Red Zinfandel. As noted in the recipe, I also suggest a deep wine like Cabernet or Merlot, but you can get great results with a fruity red wine. I say pick your favorite wine because you know the results will be something you love. A full list of other suggestions are noted above.
