Sangria Don Josué

Dom Josué Sangria is a 7% ABV wine-based flavoured drink made with Spanish red wine, produced in France under Carrefour's Dom Josué brand. Half of its content is red wine; it is sweetened with water, sugar and citrus extract.

What is sangria?

Sangria is Spain's traditional summer drink: red wine combined with fruit, citrus and sugar to create a light, refreshing drink. Ready-made sangrias offer this recipe in a bottle; with their low alcohol content and fruity taste, they are especially popular in hot weather and at crowded tables. The name comes from the Spanish word "sangre", meaning blood, referring to the drink's deep red colour.

How should it be served?

It is traditionally served well chilled, with plenty of ice, in a large jug. Adding slices of orange, lemon and peach freshens the aroma. The large bottle format is practical for garden parties and picnics. It contains potassium bisulphite as a preservative; once opened, it should be kept sealed in the refrigerator and consumed promptly.

What food does it pair with?

It is enjoyed with tapas-style meze platters, grilled chicken and barbecued meats, salted nuts and summer salads. It also pairs well with fruity desserts.
