Probally should've post this in a different area-but-
does anybody have any real good recipes for sangria wine?-was going to make some for a party but i don't want it to be a disappointment

Start with some wine

Get some apples and brandy and sugar just fine

Old friends always show up on time

That's why you add Sparkling Burgandy wine

Just sorry I don't have any help for the recipe!

http://wine.about.com/od/redwines/r/basicSangria.htm

found some stuff here

NGREDIENTS:

* 1 Bottle of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Rioja, Zinfandel, Shiraz)
* 1 Lemon cut into wedges
* 1 Orange cut into wedges
* 2 Tbsp sugar
* 1 Shot brandy
* 2 Cups ginger ale or club soda

PREPARATION:
Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon and orange into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sugar and brandy. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale or club soda just before serving.

If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled red wine and serve over lots of ice.

Addition ideas: sliced strawberries, peaches, handful of fresh blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, a shot or two of gin, brandy or rum, a cup of ginger ale, citrus soda pop or lime juice.

Sangria Wine
Copyright Groper Music
All rights reserved. Used by Permission

When friends come for Saturday night
We always make up some sangria wine
It's organic and it comes from the vine
It's also legal and it gets you so high

Chorus
And I love that sangria wine
Love to drink it with old friends of mine
Love to drink with old friends of mine
When we get drunk on that sangria wine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I love sangria wine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I love sangria wine

You start with some lemons and limes
Apples, brandy and sugar's fine
Old friends always show up on time
That's why you add that sparkling burgundy wine

Repeat Chorus

In Florida on a Saturday night
Everclear is added to the wine sometime
You got some tacos and nachos, burritos, hell who knows
That's the way it usually goes and it goes

Is anybody going to San Antone
Or Phoenix, Arizona
Any place is all right as long as I
Don't have to go to Disney
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I love sangria wine
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I love sangria wine

All that's left to do is drink wine
Sit back and watch your mind go by
You know you always tell the truth
When you're drunk on wine
That's why you add the lemons and limes

Repeat Chorus

Whoa oh oh whoa oh, I love Sangria Wine

Texas version:
Any place is alright as long as I
Don't have to go to Waco (sorry PHarms)

3 parts burgundy or a good red wine if you wish
1 part brandy
1 part triple sec or Grand Marnier
1 part Margaritaville Margarita Mix

Pour over ice
Add 5 alive to taste
or Minute Maid juice blends...I used Mango Tropical tonight

Garnish with slices of fruit if you wish.

(Every time I mix different kinds of wine or brandy and juice, you get a little different taste so this is not exactly Tried and True like you asked for.)

El Siboney in KW... and this little hole-in-the-wall Cuban restaurant Candy took me to the last time I was down in Orlando... both of them serve great Sangria from what I have been told.

thanks for the quick help-should've posted here when i needed help in college

That sounds delicious!!

Last time we were in Spain, our friends served us some outstanding sangria, they were using top-shelf wine and allowed it to chill overnight, but I can't remember anything else about their recipe.

Rhino's Sangria Recipe

Start with a big enough jug so you only have to read thru this crap once. I'd suggest, at minimum, one of those gallon type rubbermaid cooler jobbies. Rinse it out will ya? Fill with ice. No, screw that, ice takes up valuable booze room. Correction: fill halfway with ice.

Ok, now, you went to the store and got all the stuff, right? Alright then, onto the most vital part, the precise measurements.

Start with the rum. The cheap stuff. The kinda brown stuff that you can smuggle into Buffett concerts disguised as ice tea. That stuff. Pour in....keep pouring....about that much, half a bottle. Bottle size will dictate cooler size, half of a handle sized bottle needs like a two gallon cooler thingy.

Alrighty then. Got ice. Got rum. Need wine. There are several schools of thought on the grape and vintage. That's all *****. Grab a box of the red wine. The "ch lob lay" red. Spelled chillable. Just tell your friends that had the high fallutin floor seats at the last show that it's an imported wine, a 'ch lob lay'. They've never toured the box section of the wine store, they won't know a thing. How much? Like, say, a bunch. But don't fill up the cooler thingy, cuz there's more.

Ah, the accoutrements. The finer things in life. The stuff from the islands with spices. The vitamins. Kmart berry soda. Try to avoid anything that clearly identifies what type of berries gave their life in the pursuit of the perfect sangria. Stay general. Stay the hell away from the sugar-free aisle. One can. Plastic half pint of OJ. Half of that. Now, the key.

Squeezable juice drinks. What kind? Oh, c'mon, this ain't a freakin Oprah recipe. Tropical punch!!!!!! Just be careful, maybe have the keets put the straw in. Sharp little bastards. Quantity. One to two, depending on how much ya slurp while testing the straw.

Fruit. Orange, .75, check. Limes, 2, check. Lemon, 1, check. Sliced into wedgies and squeezed into chooler thingy (squoze into?) While wedgy-ing, go ahead and give your sweetie a wedgie, always brings on fun reactions.Toss them in aforementioned cooler thingy. Stir, swirl, shake it if ya got it. Pour into glass/cup/mug with ice. Drink. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat...

the Sangria at Gruene hall was very good..
