Is sangria good for you health?!
I know that red wine has various health benefits when consumed in moderation (1-2 glasses a day) but what about red wine with orange juice/lemons/apples/sprite etc!.!? Is that equally as effective (assuming the same amount of wine consumed in both forms)!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
It depends on what you mean by sangria!. If it's the bottled stuff it's not really sangria!.
I live in Spain and make my own sangria!. It contains red wine, Spanish brandy, cointreau, peach schnapps, vodka and a light lemonade such as light sprite!. The fruit I use is simply oranges and lemons!. I also sweeten it slightly with sugar or any sweetener!. It's not something you drink on a daily basis, it's something you drink when we have friends round!.
The Spanish tend to drink tinto verano (summer wine) which is red wine and light lemonade and loads of ice!. It's a good drink on a hot day!.
As for red wine, it's good for you if you stick to the recommendations!. 2 glasses 4 times a week is about right!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
