What Do Sangrias Taste Like?

Sangria is as sweet as you make it. As a general rule, it's going to be fruity, so start with a dry red wine to keep that sugar content down. Pick fruits that lean more tart than sweet (like Granny Smith apples rather than white peaches), add more acidic juice like lemonade, or simply don't add sugar to your mixture.

What is sangria supposed to taste like?

If you order sangria (or follow a recipe and make some at home) expect a wine-based beverage with a kick that is sometimes sweet, and always fruity. Modern sangrias often have brandy or flavored liqueur added to up the alcohol percentage, as well as sparkling water or lemon-lime soda to brighten it up.
