Mealtime Magic: DIY Sangria

Bottled Sangria continues to be a popular go-to cocktail amongst consumers, especially for this time of year as seen in its steady boost in popularity and continued growth in sales (according to Market Watch Mag). However with high demand, of course, comes increased price points in both retail locations and in restaurants. I was recently sent some DIY Sangria Recipes courtesy of Santa Margherita and Sparkling Ice that you can try for yourself.
