How to Use Pinot Noir for Sangria

Sangria is a punch-style drink of Spanish origin. It consists of a mixture of brandy and wine, with fruit juices and fruit added. Sangria is typically served from a large, colorful pitcher into standard red wine glasses. Other distilled spirits or liqueurs such as Triple Sec or Cointreau can be used as a substitute for brandy. Various types of red wine can be used to make sangria. Fans of pinot noir appreciate its fruity, spicy flavors, choosing it over other red wines when making sangria.
