Sangria and claret are both wines that have been infused with fruit or fruit juice. Sangria is typically made from red wine, whereas claret is usually made from white wine (but sometimes red wine, just like in this recipe). The main difference between the two drinks is that sangria has a sweet, fruity taste and claret has a more acidic taste, which makes it a more versatile choice for cocktails. The two drinks are also made in different ways. Sangria can be made by mixing red wine with fruit juice and water; however, some people prefer to make it by simply adding fruit juices to their favorite red wines. On the other hand, claret can be made by simply adding brandy (or cognac) to white wine (or champagne).
