What kind of wine do you use for sangria?

Traditionally sangria has been made with red wine but now everyone has discovered that sangria blanca, or sangria with white wine, tastes pretty darn good too! If you’re using white, dry white wines are best.

How To Make White Wine Sangria With Berries

Start by pitting your cherries and cutting them in half (if you have a cherry pitter, it makes this step super easy).

Next, cut about two thirds of the blueberries in half.
