To burn it off
Sangria is red wine with fruit, juice, sugar and often a splash of brandy. That mix gives a glass about 15 g of carbs on top of the wine.
A glass is 160 kcal and the jug is 800, which is five glasses. Shared between two on a Spanish terrace, that's 400 each.
It goes down easily in the heat, which is the whole charm and the whole catch. Order a jug for four rather than two.
Tips
Where it comes from
Sangria takes its name from the Spanish sangría, bloodletting, after its deep red wine. Sweetening wine with sugar and spices is far older, and hippocras, a spiced wine, is probably a common ancestor of both sangria and mulled wine. Spaniards drank it for centuries, but Americans first met it at the Spanish pavilion of the 1964 World's Fair in New York, and it took off from there.
