Online Encyclopedia of Wine and Sangria

Professor of the Vine shares this one: EncycloWine, the wiki encyclopedia for wine enthusiasts.

Here is their article on sangrias, a wine-punch I made for our 4th of July celebration. It was the rave of the party. Sugar might be nice, but we enjoyed it without. Here is the recipe I found and slightly modified. Besides being wine, it's a refreshing beverage for the hot weather. More, there are no rules for how you make it, or what you add.

An aside for you purists: EncycloWine points out that what distinguishes Sangria from wine coolers is the quality of wine. The important thing is that the beverage be still discernably a wine.
