Quick History
Way back in 200 BC the Romans conquered and colonized Spain. One aspect of colonization was the planting of red grapes which was used to make alcoholic fruit punches. The punches were named Sangria, translating to 'blood', symbolizing the drink's color and the cost of colonization.
Fast forward to New York City in 1964 and you have the introduction of Sangria to the United States. The Spanish World area at The World Fair that year served Sangria and it has since become one of the most popular drinks in America.
