It feels like it was only yesterday that we were talking about the arrival of Spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now, we\u2019re mere weeks away from <\/a>Summer arriving<\/a><\/strong>. And we couldn\u2019t be more excited. There are few things that we like more than sitting outside in the warm sun with a tasty Italian wine<\/strong> in our hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White wine fans will love the base of the cocktail. But those who prefer a little bit more complexity with their wines aren\u2019t left out, as the sangria\u2019s perfect for those more <\/a>complex fruity flavours<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s easy to make too. You just need to mix up the following in a large punch bowl<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
