Sangria (English: /sæŋˈɡriːə/ sang-GREE-ə, Portuguese: [sɐ̃ˈɡɾi.ɐ]; Spanish: sangría [saŋˈɡɾi.a]) is an alcoholic beverage originating in Spain and Portugal. A punch, sangria traditionally consists of red wine and chopped fruit, often with other ingredients or spirits.
Under EU regulations[1] only Spain and Portugal can label their product as Sangria; similar products from different regions are differentiated in name. Clericó is a similar beverage that is popular in Latin America.[2]
Sangria is very popular among foreign tourists in Spain even if locals do not consume the beverage that much.[3] It is commonly served in bars, restaurants, and chiringuitos and at festivities throughout Portugal and Spain.[4]
