Description

Sangria traces its origins back to the period of Roman occupation in the Iberian Peninsula, which encompasse present-day Spain and Portugal. During this time, the Romans introduced grape cultivation to the region. The popularity of wine surged due to its alcohol content, which effectively eliminated harmful bacteria when mixed with unsanitary drinking water. To enhance the palatability of the wine, the addition of herbs, spices, and fruit might have taken place, thereby laying the foundation for modern-day sangria. Although recipes vary, this Sangria Spice Blend is based on the traditional wine punch that has been popular across Europe for centuries, beginning in the Middle Ages.
