[edit] Comment 1

Does anyone else feel that the passage beginning "Tourists flock to bars, pubs or restaurants in Southern Spain for what they imagine to be a real taste of Spain. However, Sangria is most typically served at informal social gatherings..." is a little condescending, and not really encyclopedic in style? Dr-john 19:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

It says that "sangreal" means "blood" in Spanish, yet sangreal is the name for the Holy Grail in French, (if I remember my DaVinci Code correctly ;) ) The word for blood in Spanish is sangre. I changed it. I'm right, correct? Taradactyl 07:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

• You are correct, it is sangre Charleenmerced ^Talk 21:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced

In the English-language Wikipedia, Sangria is the norm. Sangría is owlish and pretentious. Wetman 07:30, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hmm, that is true that I've never seen the accented form in English. However, it doesn't seem unreasonable to add the accent, especially since the pronunciation in English follows the accent. It doesn't bother me. You do get points for using "owlish" in a sentence, though. :) --Wnissen 05:50, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

• Pretentious? It is not pretentious to use correct grammar. Since this is a word borrowed from the Spanish language, and in Spanish it IS Sangría, the title of this article should be Sangría. Just as we don't remove the accents from Carmenère, we should not remove it from Sangría. Charleenmerced ^Talk 21:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced

The english written language does not really use diacritics. Those words that do generally represent a word in transition from the conscious use of a foreign word for which no English cognate is available to one which becomes accepted as a commonly used English word. For every use of the word "sangria" that uses a diacritic in English speaking countries, I can find you 100 instances where the diacritic is not. Sangria, as a commonly known word and a commonly enjoyed drink, is a word that has pretty much completed this transition, and the original comment about using diacritics with it in written English is spot on.Dxco 01:54, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Did anyone else notice that white wine is listed as the first ingredient, and then it goes on to that white wine can be subsituted for red and is then called sangria blanca? Doesn't that mean the 1st ingredient should be changed to RED wine? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.133.121.137 (talk) 04:37, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "aromatized wine"?

"Sangría is a wine punch (more formally and precisely, an aromatized wine)"

Right now it's just a redlink, so unless someone can explain why it isn't sufficient to describe sangría as a wine punch or explain better what is exactly meant by "aromatized wine", I'm tempted to remove the parenthesized clause. 24.19.184.243 00:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

"Aromatized wine" is an EU invention, to allow different taxation of certain traditional products. I'd guess pre-made sangria may well be classified as that, but a) noone would ever describe it thus in common usage and b) it ignores the fact that sangria is commonly made up from separate ingredients, rather than bought premade. You can buy premade sangria, but I'd guess that's a small percentage of the total sangria drunk. And calling sangria a fortified wine is just ridiculous - sure it has a little brandy in it, but that is diluted by the soft drink component. So you're firmly in the world of cocktail-type drinks - it's a wine punch. FlagSteward 16:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Completely. Been meaning to change that but not got round to it. Famico666 19:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC) If the Fortified Wine page implies that sangria is a fortified wine, then the fortified wine page should be changed to say something like "fortified before point of sale".

[edit] What's All The Fuss People, Sangria Is Sexy Fun!

First you should all know that Zurro is what they call Sangria in some of the southern regions of Spain, but I like Sangria just the same.

Sangria is a drink that works for both men women and even moreso for couples looking to warm up and feel good. The art making of Sangria in my opinion is sacred and I am very particular about who makes it and where, I rarely drink Sangria at restaurants and bars unless someone calls to harass me that they had the best Sangria ever, in which I would try and swing by to test the recipe.

Almost anyone with a zest passion for cooking will be a great candidate for making Sangria, but you must come have some knowledge of what constitutes a great Sangria, and what should go into the mix. My 100 year recipe will die with me, I do not share what goes into my blend, and that is because I have tweaked it over the years to perfection and really beleive this could someday be the multi-million dollar top-shelf premium Sangria to for those willing to pay top dollar for the best. But for now I am an advertising sales executive with too many responsibilities to pursue this fantasy.

What began as a simple holiday drink has morphed into a harassing little empire of bootlegging which I am hesitant to pursue, however on occassion I will make cases for friends in need of the perfect Sangria. I guess I enjoy hearing them tell me it's the best they have ever had and it feeds my ego, but also from time to time reaffirms that I really do make the best, and by the way this has been confirmed by even Spaniards themselves. The common response to the Sangira for first timers is "What the heck is in that Sangria" and how delicious it is. My warning those newcomers is for them to protect themselves at all times, becuase on slip and you too could raising a tribe of unplanned children, because it truly is an Aphrodisiac. I make it in red and white (summer)and even blend in the actual fruits for the perfect Sangria flavor and blend, and works well for for lazy individuals who can't even cut fruit or want to give the Sangria the official party look. Which may be contributing to the euphoric phenomenon and long shelf life which outside of the fridge is 10 months, and certainly not the Sangria should be kept unrefridgerated.

And by the way I am not trying to sell you Sangria, just sharing the joy that is the official Sangria experience. However if you do think you dfound the perfect Sangria, please share your stories with me and/or let's compare blends. You can write me at locean@optonline.
