Make A Light, Fruity and Refreshing White Wine Sangria for Any Occasion

The word "sangria" means blood in Latin, thanks to its reddish color, a result of its red wine ingredient. However, this refreshing fruit and wine mix is no longer limited to red wine. Interestingly, you can swap it with your favorite dry white wine.

Unlike traditional sangria, it's harder to find the right white wine and fruit combination because white wines showcase a fuller and fruitier taste. If you pair a citrusy white wine with lemon or lime, the overall taste and citrusness could be too overwhelming. Henceforth, just like red wine sangria recipes, it's important to choose simple white wines, and avoid full-bodied wines like an oaked Chardonnay.

Here's our light, fruity and refreshing white wine sangria recipe for any occassion.
